Naturally aspirated engines are more durable in the long run. Here are some relevant introductions about turbocharging and natural aspiration: Development of Turbocharging: Currently, turbocharging technology has become quite mature, and the lifespan of turbochargers has also been extended. Under normal working conditions, they can ensure a vehicle mileage of 200,000 to 300,000 kilometers, so there is no need to worry excessively about the lifespan of turbocharged engines. Comparison: Natural aspiration is a method of air intake in cars, where atmospheric pressure forces air into the combustion chamber without the use of any supercharger. Turbocharging is a technology that uses exhaust gases generated by the operation of an internal combustion engine to drive an air compressor. Currently, all turbocharged engines basically use aluminum alloy cylinder blocks. Although the turbocharger brings ultra-high-intensity air compression when activated, and the temperature in the combustion chamber may exceed 1000 degrees, which can have some impact on the engine's lifespan, it is not as severe as imagined.
