The turbocharging of engines in modern cars today is getting pretty common. You can see all sorts of forced induction set-ups, from a small-sized single turbo and up to a twin-turbo set-up. But a triple turbo set-up is something new and two German automakers are venturing into that foray.

the Veyron has 4 turbos isn't it? it is merely the application which is novel since noone has taken 3 turbos to slap on the engine. still, multi turbo powerplants are not new, thats my point.

@Happily1986: Yes, you are correct about the Veyron having 4 turbos. The Veyron's engine is a W16 which is equivalent to two V8s. Each turbo is set for each bank of cylinders and that is why the engineers are able to place four turbos.

 

When I asked the question about how will triple turbos function, I basically was wondering on how three turbos would function on an inline engine since most of the time nowadays we only see twin turbos. Generally, one turbo for the lower-end and the other one for mid and higher end.

 

Fixing three turbos on an engine is new for stock engines although aftermarket tuners have done it. I've seen three turbos on a Mazda 20B engine and it is ideal since it thas three rotors. One turbo for each rotor.

 

Thank you for your comments.

    Listening to music while working: Does it actually help?

    It’s likely a common sight in every office you set foot in: Workers with their heads buried in their desktops/laptops, earbuds dutifully plugged in (or headphones chucked on). Having a tune to go into battle alongside you against anything that happens at work seems to be as essential as having a caffeinated drink perched on the table, it seems. Thus also arises the question, however: Does a symphony of melodies really serve as the secret ingredient to unlocking peak productivity? The debate

    I never knew Monster Trucks were so popular here

    Although it appeared to be selling out fast back when my friend shared the link to the Monster Jam Singapore event some months ago, I could never expect just how popular the event turned out to be until the day itself. You see, originating in the USA, Monster Trucks aren't really an international phenomenon, unlike F1 or other forms of motorsports. Even someone like me, who's very interested in cars, doesn't really know much about these massive machines. And yet, on the day of the even
