The document discusses Variable Geometry Turbochargers (VGTs), which enhance engine performance by increasing air intake density through a turbine powered by exhaust gases. VGTs reduce turbo lag, improve low-end torque, and enhance fuel efficiency, making them vital in modern diesel and gasoline engines. They are crucial for meeting emissions standards and improving fuel economy.

Definition

A turbocharger, or turbo is a centrifugal


compressor powered by a turbine that is driven by
an engine's exhaust gases.

Its benefit lies with the compressor increasing the


mass of air entering the engine (forced induction),
thereby resulting in greater performance (for
either, or both, power and efficiency).

They are popularly used with internal combustion


engines.

it before it enters into the
