Last issue we covered the basic purpose of a turbo system’s wastegate, as well as taking an in-depth look at the design and manufacturing challenges associated with producing top-quality wastegates ...

to control boost pressure. It achieves this by regulating the amount of exhaust gas flowing through the turbocharger's turbine, reducing its power output. This consequently slows the turbo's ...

The whole idea behind why forced induction works has to do with one thing—pressure. The turbo generates pressure, the intake manifold contains that pressure and, as a result, you end up with a whole ...
