A turbocharger pushes compressed air into the cylinders of your car’s engine. This increase in oxygen allows the engine to burn more fuel, and create more power as a result. When your car burns fuel at a faster rate like this, it has increased horsepower, so it can accelerate more quickly and function like a larger engine.
Turbochargers compress your vehicle's air intake, which forces more air into the car engine to produce more power.
They are a long-term investment, and turbochargers rarely need to be replaced. They can last as much as two decades or 200,000 miles with proper care.
A turbocharger will turn on as you reach a certain speed or as the engine revs build up, so you don't have to worry about it running constantly.
Turbochargers can be fitted to any engine that doesn't already have one, but it is a complicated process and a professional will be required to fit it correctly and ensure it works.
