A turbocharged engine is an internal combustion engine that is equipped with a turbocharger and other turbo accessories like blow off valves. The turbocharger is a device that forces more air into the engine's combustion chamber than it would receive under normal atmospheric pressure. This increased air allows the engine to burn more fuel, thereby generating more power.   How turbos work: ·         Exhaust Gases Power the Turbocharger: The turbocharger consists of a turbin... more

Turbocharging a car refers to a method of increasing the engine's power output by using a turbine-driven forced induction device called a turbocharger, together with other turbo accessories like blow off valves etc. Here is how it works: ·         Forced Induction: Normally, an engine draws air through the air intake system. With turbocharging, the process is intensified by forcing extra air into the engine. This is achieved using a turbocharger, which is essentially a turbine connec... more

The air intake system of a vehicle is crucial for supplying the engine with the necessary air for combustion. Its main functions include: ·         Air filtration: The air intake system typically contains an air filter that removes contaminants such as dust, dirt, pollen, and debris from the incoming air. This prevents these particles from entering the engine, which could cause damage to internal components. ·         Air flow regulation: Th... more

Getting performance upgrades for a car typically refers to modifications or enhancements made to improve the vehicle's speed, power, handling, and overall performance. These upgrades can include changes to the engine, exhaust system, suspension, brakes, tires, and aerodynamics, among other performance parts.   For example, upgrading the engine might involve installing a more powerful or efficient intake system, upgrading the fuel injectors, or adding a turbocharger or supercharger to increase horsepower and torque. ... more
