The Turbocharging Industry – Where Is It Going Next?

THE BASICS - What is a Turbo? The simplest way to understand turbos is to consider that an engine needs to mix fuel and air to run. Turbos force more air into the cylinder, which can be mixed with more fuel to create morepower. Turbos use the energy of the engine’s exhaust gasses to compress air into the engine. Turbos are formed of two main parts – a turbine and a compressor. These are linked so, when the one spins, the other spins with it. As fuel in the engine is burnt, exhaust gasses are forced out of the engine at high pressure, down a snail-shaped tube to spin the turbine. This turbine spins at incredibly high speeds (up to 250,000rpm) and causes the compressor (effectively a reversed turbine) to spin. This sucks…
