What is the Difference Between Turbocharging and Naturally Aspirated?

[BeckettLynn]

Here are the differences between turbocharging and naturally aspirated: 1. Power: Under the same displacement, turbocharging provides stronger power than naturally aspirated. 2. Maintenance: The stronger power of turbocharging may lead to faster performance and reliability degradation compared to naturally aspirated, and the later maintenance costs are usually higher than those of naturally aspirated. 3. Fuel Consumption: In terms of fuel consumption, under the same displacement, if the vehicle is frequently used in urban areas, the fuel consumption performance of turbocharging is worse than that of naturally aspirated. If the vehicle is often driven on highways, turbocharging is more fuel-efficient. 4. Manufacturing Cost: The turbocharger itself is an additional component, and due to its high-temperature and high-pressure working environment, the material requirements are higher, along with the high-precision manufacturing costs, making the turbocharger more expensive than a naturally aspirated engine.
