How do you activate a turbocharger?
When you hit the throttle, the engine works harder and creates more exhaust pressure. This spins the turbocharger, which in turn boosts the engine, which in turn receives more fuel – which is why these small-displacement engines can suddenly become a lot thirstier than expected when you drive them hard.
At what RPM is turbo activated?
You Spin Me Right Round (Like a Turbo, Baby): The turbine in a typical car turbocharger has to spin incredibly quickly. While your car's engine revs, at cruise, at around 2,000 rpm, a turbo's turbine can reach rotational speeds of more than 280,000 rpm.
How does an automotive turbocharger work?
A turbo works by forcing more air into the engine, with the amount of fuel being injected in increasing correspondingly, increasing the strength of the combustion, and producing more power.
