Turbocharger Turbo’s send compress air

flow into the engine More air in the cylinder will

also increase fuel in the cylinder, thus giving more power from each explosion in each cylinder.

Typical boost provided is around 6 to 8 PSI, but then again you can boost higher around 10 or more.

Ambient Air goes into the compressor wheel

Then flows down to the Intercooler where it becomes Cold

Then flows into the engine cylinder

Turns into hot exhaust gas and goes into the turbine wheel

It was then released to exhaust and waste gate

For a 2-stroke engine Low noise level Compressor Ratio: 4.2

Efficiency: 70%Compact ConstructionOutputs: 20,000 to 25,000 kW per turbocharger

Bugatti Veyron 16.4 0-62: 2.5 Seconds Top speed: 253 mph Cost: 1.1 Million Euro

Veyron Engine W16 Engine: 16

Cylinders 4 Turbochargers Power: 1001 HP (736

kW)

Turbocharged are mainly used for cars but can be put on motorcycles.

The constant noise you hear after each gear shift is because the waste gate is being opened and closed.
