What is Turbo Lag?
1 Answers
Turbo lag refers to the time required for the turbocharger's boost pressure to rise to its maximum value after the throttle is fully opened. The turbo lag phenomenon generated by turbocharged engines can be altered through technical means. Turbo lag is influenced by many factors, including the size of the turbocharger, engine displacement, degree of engine modification, rotational inertia of the turbo shaft, efficiency of the turbocharger, and intake losses. Turbocharging utilizes the exhaust gases produced during engine operation to drive the compressor. Throughout the boosting process, it does not consume engine power and can even enhance the engine's performance.
