Description
First developed in 1924, the turbocharger uses the engine's exhaust gases to power a turbine, which drives a compressor, and pushes more air into the engine. This allows the engine to produce more power without any increase in size. Turbochargers have provided such significant improvements in engine efficiency that they are now fitted to
The compressor is usually located between the air cleaner and the engine intake manifold, while the turbine is located between the exhaust manifold and the tail pipe of the exhaust system.
The prime job of the turbocharger is, by compressing air, to force more air into the engine cylinders. This allows the engine to efficiently burn more fuel, thereby producing more horsepower.
