turbocharged engines
Forced-induction motor systems
Turbocharged engines use exhaust gases to spin a turbine that forces more air into the combustion chamber, producing more power from the same engine size.
The technology allows smaller, more fuel-efficient engines to match the output of larger ones: The turbocharged four-cylinder delivers V6 performance.
Turbo lag—the brief delay before the turbocharger spools up—has largely been engineered out of modern designs.
