Turbocharger/Supercharger

When we talk about high performing racing cars, the word “turbocharger” usually comes in between. These mostly come in large diesel engines which can magnify their power without making any changes to weight- a major benefit that makes turbochargers popular amongst motor heads. In a standard engine, air flow is critical for performance. Generally, the downward motion of pistons draws air into cylinders of a running engine. The air then gets mixed with fuel and combined vapour ignites to produce power. When accelerating, you are not pumping fuel in the engine, rather drawing more air, which draws vaporised fuel in order to create power.
