What is turbo boost?
Engines burn fuel to make power, and they need air to burn that fuel. A turbocharger shoves more air into the engine than it would be able to ingest on its own, increasing the ability to burn fuel, and thereby increasing power.DefinitionA turbo boost is the amount of positive air pressure in the engine’s intake manifold above the local outside air pressure.Turbo PressureAt sea level, the weight of the air in the atmosphere presses down on everything at about 14 lbs. per square inch. If a turbocharger can produce twice the pressure that goes in, then it would enable 28 psi of pressure.FuelingThe engine will require more fuel to take advantage of the turbo boost and prevent damage from running lean. You can do this by reprogramming the computer, installing bigger fuel injectors and/or utilizing a supplemental fuel injection system that responds solely to boost pressure.FunctionNon-turbocharged (“naturally aspirated”) engines use the movement of pistons to suck air through the intake valv
