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 ...

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 ...

Keith from Trigger Happy couldn’t have it worse. After dropping nearly $60,000 on this SR5 TRD Off-Road 4x4 pickup, the Tundra crapped out with only 335 miles (539 kilometers) on the clock. As you ...

A global supplier of automotive turbocharging systems has turned to DuPont Co.'s Vespel polyimide to improve the performance of its pneumatic wastegate actuators in many turbocharger applications.

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 ...

The whole idea behind why forced induction works has to do with one thing—pressure. The turbo generates pressure, the intake manifold contains that pressure and, as a result, you end up with a whole ...
