Automotive Turbochargers

Definition of Automotive Turbochargers as it relates to Automotive, Automotive Exhaust Systems, Automotive Exhaust System Components

Automotive Turbochargers are air compressors that force more air into an internal combustion engine, allowing it to generate more power and torque. They work by utilizing the exhaust gases produced by the engine to spin a turbine, which in turn drives a compressor that forces additional air into the engine's intake manifold. This increased airflow enables the engine to burn more fuel, resulting in higher performance. Turbochargers are often used in high-performance vehicles and can also be found in some modern diesel engines to improve fuel efficiency. They are typically made up of a turbine housing, compressor housing, shaft, and bearings.
