turboladdares
Turboladdares are devices used to increase the power output and efficiency of internal combustion engines by forcing more air into the intake. They exploit energy from exhaust gas to spin a turbine that drives a compressor, raising the density of intake air and allowing more fuel to be burned.
Core components include a turbine and compressor mounted on a common shaft in a housing, an intercooler
Variants encompass single-turbo, multi-turbo (twin- or tri-turbo), and newer electrified or variable-geometry designs. Twin-scroll and sequential
Historically, turboladdares appeared in the early to mid-20th century and became common in production cars from
Advantages include increased power without larger displacement, and potential fuel economy improvements under certain conditions. Challenges
