TURBOCHARGER OPERATION
The turbocharger compresses intake air to a density
up to four times that of atmospheric pressure. This
greater amount of dense air allows more fuel to be
burned, thereby doubling the engine’s power output.
The turbocharger also reduces exhaust emissions
and exhaust noise. It compensates for the less dense
air encountered in higher altitude operation
"A naturally aspirated engine has a limited supply
of air for combustion. The air has only atmospheric
pressure pushing it into the cylinders. A turbocharger
provides pressurized air, which allows for
more air to be packed into a cylinder for each firing.
This provides more power and much better combustion
efficiency. Thus, more power is realized from a
given engine size, fuel economies improve, and emissions
are reduced.

INDUCTION, EXHAUST, AND TURBOCHARGER SYSTEM PRINCIPLES
On a naturally aspirated four-stroke-cycle engine,
the system includes the air cleaner, a precleaner (if
used), the intake manifold, and the connecting tubing
and pipes (Figure 3–1). On the two-strokecycle,
the system also includes a blower for scavenging
air and for combustion.
On a turbocharged engine, additional air is supplied
by means of a turbocharger, which is exhaust
gas–driven (Figure 3–2). On a supercharged engine
a mechanically driven blower is used to supply additional
air.
