@EngineeringExplained Thanks :-)

@kalijasin Turbochargers increase thermal efficiency by creating useful work out of wasted exhaust gases. Using the heat and force of the exhaust gases leaving the engine, the turbo sucks in air that otherwise is done simply by the piston moving down. Turbo's greatly improve volumetric efficiency. Also, turbo's allow for the use of smaller engines (with lesser frictional losses than large engines) that create equal power to larger engines.

...wow halfway through this video i realised i dont give a shit how they work just as long as i can fly

Some on here seem to think turbo charges use fuel, but they do not.

@COR3YlD How specifically does it increase it?

@kalijasin depends on how you drive. if your hard on your car, then you have terrible fuel economy. if you drive casually, then turbochargers actually increase your fuel economy.
