Last issue we covered the basic purpose of a turbo system’s wastegate, as well as taking an in-depth look at the design and manufacturing challenges associated with producing top-quality wastegates ...

Gearheads who want their car to go faster need more horsepower, and that can be achieved with a turbocharged engine. Turbochargers are installed to produce more power by increasing the density of the ...

A turbo system's wastegate is like a sentry constantly pacing the boundaries, keeping the flow of boost in check. It prevents the turbo from overboosting by bleeding off exhaust gases, or more ...

A turbocharged engine features several components for it to efficiently build boost and function correctly. The intercooler is there to make the most of the compressed air heading into the intake ...

to control boost pressure. It achieves this by regulating the amount of exhaust gas flowing through the turbocharger's turbine, reducing its power output. This consequently slows the turbo's ...

As turbocharging becomes more popular in both factory and aftermarket applications, those of us familiar with naturally aspirated engines might not be fully up to speed on our turbo-plumbing anatomy.
