turbocharged
Extra air, more power
Turbocharged describes an engine fitted with a turbocharger—a device that forces extra air into the combustion chamber, increasing power output.
The term extends to anything enhanced or intensified beyond normal capacity: a turbocharged economy, turbocharged growth.
The figurative use suggests something supercharged, accelerated, or operating at maximum intensity.
