turbocharged engine
Forced-induction power plant
A turbocharged engine uses exhaust gases to spin a turbine that forces more air into the combustion chambers, producing more power than the engine's size would otherwise allow.
Turbocharged engines deliver better performance without the fuel consumption of larger engines: The turbocharged engine gives this compact car surprising acceleration.
Turbo is the common shorthand.
