A turbocharger is a performance-enhancing device that is used to compress air and force it into a car’s engine. This increases horsepower and torque. They are particularly beneficial for those who want to make their vehicle faster and more powerful.
The basic principle behind a turbocharger is the use of exhaust gases to spin a turbine, which compresses air and forces it into the engine. The compressed air is denser, which means that it contains more oxygen. More oxygen in the engine means that more fuel can be burned, which leads to increased horsepower and torque.

Increased Power
One of the biggest benefits of a turbocharger is the increased power it provides. The compressed air that is forced into the engine allows it to burn more fuel, which in turn increases horsepower and torque. This can be especially beneficial for those who want to improve their vehicle’s acceleration and overall performance.
Better Fuel Efficiency
Turbochargers also have the ability to increase a car’s fuel efficiency. By compressing air and allowing the engine to burn more fuel, a turbocharger can help to increase power while also reducing the amount of fuel that is used. This can be especially beneficial for those who frequently drive long distances or for those who want to save money on fuel costs.
Overcoming Lag
One of the downsides of turbochargers is the lag time it takes for the turbine to spin up and compress the air. This lag time is known as turbo lag, and it can make the car feel less responsive, especially at lower RPMs. To overcome this, some cars use a twin-turbocharger setup, where two smaller turbochargers work in parallel to reduce the lag time.
Our Experts Know Turbochargers
When purchasing a turbocharger, it is important to make sure that it is compatible with your car. Some turbochargers are designed specifically for certain makes and models of cars, while others are universal and can be installed on a wide range of vehicles. It is also important to consider the type of driving you will be doing, as some turbochargers are designed for racing and may not be suitable for everyday driving.
Installing a turbocharger can be a complex process and it is recommended that it is done by our professional mechanics who have a passion for performance. A proper installation is crucial to ensure that the turbocharger you choose for your car doesn’t cause any damage to the engine.
