| Abstract/Contents: | Profiles turbochargers, "a type of forced induction system...[that] compresses the air flowing into an engine, letting it squeeze more air into a cylinder and allowing more fuel to be added. As a result, more power is generated from each explosion in each cylinder, producing more overall power." Details how turbochargers work. Offers recommendations to prevent turbocharer failure, including to "change the oil at least every 100 hours" and "always use the oil recommended by the engine manufacturer." Details how to perfrom a leak down test "similar to a compression test in that it tells you how well [the] engine's cylinders are sealing. Instead of measuring pressure, however, it measures pressure loss." |
