5 Reasons You Shouldn't Buy A Turbocharged Car

5 Big Disadvantages Of Turbocharged Vehicles - Explained

Turbocharged cars used to be the high powered, exotic, lusted after sports cars. In today's world, they're more common than ever. Downsized turbocharged engines allow for small displacement, but still substantial horsepower, resulting in what manufacturers would like to claim as the best of both worlds: both efficiency and power. But it's not quite that simple for turbocharged engines, and there are real disadvantages versus naturally aspirated engines.

This video will discuss five disadvantages of turbocharged cars, ranging from throttle control & turbo lag, to the efficiency & reliability of forced induction vehicles. The throttle mapping, torque curve, cost, compression ratios, air/fuel ratios, and even sound all have dramatic differences when compared to a naturally aspirated engine. Check out the video for all the details!

"I need to shift, but I'm listening to the engine"
- valid reasoning

"its not crazy fast, 0-60 is under 4 seconds"
Jason...you are spoiled af :D Everything under 5 seconds is QUITE fast ....

[liquidh]

“It is not crazy fast... uh... zero to 60 under 4secs”....

You daily drive a F-35?

The fact that you drive and explain that long nerdy science at the same time non stop is impressive!

[baddragtruck]

*bolts turbo to 5.3 ls* "what now? I wasn't listening."

rotors & pads replacement for this lexus costs more than scotty's toyota celica

Screw turbo-chargers! I want a car with an engine that will last 300, 000 miles.

[billp]

Long term a naturally aspirated engine is superior

[HumbleMechanic]

I buy a turbo car then do a turbo delete, then returbo it.

EE: You shouldn't buy a turbocharged car
Me: Alright, I will buy a supercharged one.

[muskreality]

It's now becoming the standard for cars to have 1.3 - 1.5 litre enginee plus a turbocharger.

[gtzemis]

If you’re not economically well off or don’t know how to work on your own car don’t buy a turbo you aren’t capable of taking care of one and it will cost you.

You definitely need to impersonate blow off valves more often. I propose that it becomes your new intro.

I recently bought a new civic SI with that 1.5t mostly bc it was cheap and a manual and cool. I didnt realize I loved the turbo kicking in till I've driven it 3k miles. I love it when that acceleration hits and my steering wheel wants to go nuts and my car wants to generate lift. Turbos are fun man.

You have the best background of any video! You are like on vacation all day everyday with those kind of roads. The information you are giving is a bonus. I am simply enjoying the ride. Thanks.

“This is America I want it now” I died 😂😂😂

[MaizaHyodo]

I myself ride a turbocharged vehicle every day. Sometimes it's my car, sometimes it's the bus.

[antor.j.medrano]

Only thing I love turbos in is ah diesel engine.

It would have been interesting if you had also talked about mean air density. I live at 5000 ft, so all things considered, a normally aspirated engine puts out about 15% less horse power. Whereas a turbo or super charged engine can maintain rated horsepower at elevations of about 8000 ft before they start to loose power.
