The advantages of manual transmission turbocharged cars are increased engine power and torque, fuel efficiency, and cost savings. Working principle of turbocharging: A turbocharger is an air compressor driven by the exhaust gas generated by the operation of an internal combustion engine through a coaxial structure composed of two impellers. Similar in function to a supercharger, both can increase the air flow into the internal combustion engine or boiler, thereby improving combustion efficiency. Commonly used in automotive engines, a turbocharger can enhance the output power of the internal combustion engine or improve fuel economy at the same output power by utilizing the heat and flow of the exhaust gas. Working principle of manual transmission: A car that uses a manual shift mechanical transmission (also known as manual transmission, MT) to adjust the speed. That is, the gear lever must be manually shifted to change the gear meshing position inside the transmission, thereby changing the transmission ratio to achieve the purpose of shifting. The gear lever can only be shifted when the clutch is depressed.
What attracts me most about driving a manual transmission turbocharged car is the direct thrill of control. Shifting gears manually allows me to fully decide the timing, perfectly syncing with the turbo's engagement point. A stomp on the accelerator delivers instant explosive power, making high-speed overtaking or mountain road driving especially exhilarating. The roaring engine offers pure driving pleasure. Compared to automatic transmissions, there's much less electronic delay and buffering, resulting in more linear and direct power response. Although mastering the clutch and gear-shifting techniques takes practice for beginners, once you get the hang of it, you can maximize the turbo's advantages, achieving strong acceleration while maintaining decent fuel efficiency. It's incredibly fun for daily driving, especially for those who pursue driving excitement.
