Turbocharging: Advantages and Limitations?

1. Turbocharging: Advantages and Limitations?
Turbocharging is a technology that increases the output power of the engine by increasing the intake air pressure of the engine, which is widely used in various high-performance models.

However, from an older driver's perspective, a turbo isn't necessarily the best option, and here are a few possible reasons why:

First, turbocharging increases the complexity and failure rate of the engine.

Turbocharging systems include multiple components, such as turbine wheels, exhaust turbines, turbochargers, intercoolers, etc., and the connections between these components are very complex, and once a problem occurs in one component, it may cause the failure of other components.

In addition, the turbocharger needs a certain amount of time to reach the optimal working state, especially at low RPM needs time to respond quickly, which can affect the vehicle's handling and driving pleasure.

Second, turbocharging limits the engine's response speed and speed range.

Turbochargers have an optimal working range, usually in the middle and high speed segment, and at low speed and high speed, the turbocharger effect is not obvious.

This has led to a certain limit on the response speed of the vehicle, especially in complex road conditions such as urban roads and mountain roads, and can not give full play to the performance of the engine.

In addition, turbocharging also leads to increased fuel consumption.

Because turbocharging requires more air to mix the fuel to produce more power, it increases the load and fuel consumption of the engine.

In addition, turbocharging requires higher fuel quality, so it also makes maintenance more expensive.

To sum up, older drivers may not like turbocharging, mainly because turbocharging will increase the complexity and failure rate of the engine, while limiting the response speed and speed range of the engine, but also lead to increased fuel consumption.

However, turbocharging also has certain advantages, such as increasing the power and torque of the engine and improving the acceleration and power of the vehicle.
