How a Turbocharger Works | Garrett Turbo Technologies | Garrett - Advancing Motion

Turbos are fundamental to addressing the auto industry’s most pressing challenges. They dramatically improve combustion process efficiency, enhance vehicle performance and help reduce emissions. No wonder more than 140 million Garrett turbos currently boost cars and trucks around the world.

Turbos utilise exhaust gases to power a turbine wheel, which is connected via a shaft to a compressor wheel. As the two wheels turn, large amounts of ambient air are sucked in and compressed. This air is passed through a charge-air cooler to further increase its density before it enters the engine. Turbocharged engines generate more power than naturally-aspirated engines of the same size. And the combustion process becomes more efficient. Furthermore, this helps reduce emissions and enhance the driving experience.

Perfect explanation! Simple and to the point 👏👍

I thought it work be a lot more complicated, but this is easy!

But doesn’t the engine have to use more pressure to spin the turbo vs if it didn’t have a turbo? I understand that the exhaust gases are coming out anyway but the turbo has to change the formula some.

I am curious if this Garrett evolved from the Garrett Corp that my Great Grandfather Denham helped run so many years ago.

Should totes send Richard Holdener a t4 turbo for his turbo throwdown i think the only rule is t4 flange

Horrible music video. Music seams to be the main target, not turbo. So it means, do not trust Carret !
