exhaust is used to spool up the turbo, the intake side sucks in air, compresses it, and forces it into the intake manifold, which then hits the cylinders. the turbo is exhaust driven, and the reason why ford is treating turbo technology like its something new is beyond me....

Are you trying to seduce me?

@moparmadness74dodge even direct injection is actually not new. mitsubishi has been using it since 1996 followed by nissan and toyota.. at that time, major countries outside japan can't use it because of high sulphur in their petrol..

I love how stupid ass ford calls it ecoboost, like it's something they just invented. it's just a turbocharger and it doesn't have ford's dip shit signature on it.

@element774 I think the biggest reason Ford is marketing their turbo technology like they are is the use of an undersized turbo for economy as opposed to high RPM horsepower, they are also coupling that with direct injection (which is new on passenger gasoline vehicles) to allow for use of lower octane gasoline, typically a turbo gas engine requires premium fuel. They are also running pretty high compression on those motors with the direct injection, say 10:1. Nothing new under the sun!

wow, looks like what EVERY Turbo does on EVERY car fitted with one THROUGHOUT HISTORY

blame @AutoblogGreen... i dont think this animation is even from ford... most likely a retitled pos

[gorillahumpr]

Dumbest animation ever, it has nothing to do with ford. Its a typical turbo setup

@LiLBoy1221 no, more air just means bigger fire. say your stock fuel ratio is 1 part fuel to 2 parts oxygen. that 1 part of fuel only needs 1 part of oxygen to combust, but your engine adds 2 parts to be more efficient. so now if you doubled that to 4 parts oxygen or a 1:4 ratio of fuel to air it will be 2x as efficient. but then you get to a point were theres too much oxygen and the fuel burns to fast, so you increase fuel....and thats the balancing act of psi and higer fuel amounts.

@blackbeltbib yes you can. you guys are all morons. anything above 5-6psi needs more fuel.
