Turbo Technology - All Spooled Up
|
A turbo is simple in execution but a bit complex in construction. A turbo utilizes exhaust gasses and their accompanying heat to spin a turbine wheel. This turbine wheel is also linked to the compressor wheel, which pressurizes air taken in on that side of the turbo, creating boost, which is fed into the engine. In the middle of all this is a bearing housing, or center-section. This area is lubricated by engine oil and allows the wheels and shaft to spin freely. View Related Article
