What is the difference between turbocharging and naturally aspirated engines?

[OEmily]

Here are the differences between turbocharging and naturally aspirated engines: 1. Power: Under the same displacement, turbocharging provides stronger power than naturally aspirated engines. 2. Maintenance: The stronger power of turbocharging may lead to faster performance and reliability degradation compared to naturally aspirated engines, and the later maintenance costs are usually slightly higher than those of naturally aspirated engines. 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 not as good as that of naturally aspirated engines. If frequently used 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 requirements for its materials, combined with high-precision manufacturing costs, make the turbocharger more expensive than naturally aspirated engines.
