I couldn't see the turbo very well in your demonstration better lighting would help

One video explains it all ....great work mate !!! Support from india .... !

The compressed air coming from the turbo and going to the engine gets the heat from being compressed, not necessarily from the turbo itself (since the turbo is cooled)

[Martin_lopezSwanton]

loved it, could you do superchargers next?

[ayle]

It swoops the woop and toots it into the vroom

[fitnesspoint]

have your thoughts and flow of words rehearsed this will cut down on the number of "Umms" and give a polished and professional feel to your videos

@0:19 I thought I was seeing a marionette from The Thunderbirds ! lol !

[martso]

I originally thought, that the turbine gets hot because of the exaust gasses flowing through. Great and very informative video nonetheless

[victornderitu]

Do turbos increase fuel consumption, say, when installed in a stock engine?

[cheese]

so if you do a pop in a turbocharged car, will it get rekt?

[blucanyon]

I was actually named after the turbo in the RS200!

[charbeldk]

and btw it's impossible for the compressor wheel to spin back and forth because it has a speed between 90k and 200k rpm in full boost how can't it stop instantly to spin backwards ??!!!

5:20, dude get a deskLamp to light that shit up, we can't see jack. Otherwise pretty good video

How do Turbos work?

"Air goes in one turbo, and becomes bigger, and Air goes in another turbo, and becomes bigger, and the other turbo comes out and it comes out B I G G E R A I R ! Then it goes round, round, round, round, round, round, round, round *PISS* *SPIN* !" - Regular Car Reviews, 2015.

[tigervolcano]

actually in a sequential turbo setup the turbos are usually the same size rather than a smaller turbo feeding another bigger turbo

[DWTSVIDS]

on what car are you going to put the turbo?

[SeraphCrimson]

Dude get a better mic and sound mixing. I can barely hear you over the music you put on.

[nickamarit]

flutter is harmful to the turbo, right?

[Daapse]

A turbo is just import for not enough cylinders, 'murica
