What does tuning with a turbocharger mean?

When tuning by installing a previously non-existent turbocharger, there is a lot to watch out for. In the vast majority of cases, it is necessary to go to a specialized workshop. Before installing the turbo, check whether all components in the engine can withstand the increased power. The amount of fuel to be injected must be adapted to the additional amount of air that the turbocharger pushes into the combustion chambers (cylinders). In the best case scenario, the exhaust gas path must also be optimized, as modern naturally aspirated engines are matched to the dynamic pressure in the exhaust system. The following rule applies to turbo engines: the faster and more exhaust gases are removed, the better. Attention: In an engine that is filled via a charger, the combustion temperatures are higher, which also depend on the set boost pressure. Partly correct is: The higher the boost pressure / filling level, the higher the performance. However, the service life of all engine parts present at the origin is greatly reduced. At this point a compromise has to be found between performance and service life.

Greatest susceptibility to defects: Turbo engines can be quickly tuned using the boost pressure. The possibility of increasing the boost pressure with very simple means in order to generate significantly more power is not advisable for most engines without further measures. Using a more powerful charger (to replace the original charger) also has limited advantages. The response behavior can be improved, but coordination and adjustment to the motor should always be carried out by a specialist.
