turbo charged
Forcefully air-compressed engine
Turbocharged describes an engine fitted with a turbocharger—a device that forces extra air into the combustion chamber, increasing power output.
The figurative sense dominates casual use: anything turbocharged has been supercharged, accelerated, or intensified beyond normal capacity: a turbocharged economy, turbocharged growth.
