What are the advantages of a turbocharged engine?
1 Answers
Turbocharged engines offer the advantage of higher power output compared to naturally aspirated engines of the same displacement, meaning they deliver stronger performance. They also tend to be more fuel-efficient. However, the downsides include higher maintenance costs and the need to idle for several seconds after starting and before shutting down the engine to ensure proper cooling and lubrication of the turbocharger.
