Ferraricalifornia 1st Gear May 29, 2009 Share May 29, 2009 how about this? VW 1.4TSI technology: Superchargers takes charge of engine power at low engine speeds (up to 2500rpm), while the turbocharger takes charge of engine power at high engine speeds (above 2500rpm)...1.4L capacity is to reduce fuel economy at the same time...smaller engine, less weight...but they didn't factor in the supercharger and turbocharger weight...which is a shame...isn't really fun to drive...it's just as good as a 1.4L with 1.8/2.0L performance? BMW on the other hand, (so far only applies to their 3.0L turbocharged engine)...since turbocharged engines are known to have turbo-lag...(you floor the accelerator from start, but you move off like a normal car, nothing special happening)...they put both Light-Pressure Turbos and a normal Turbo... the LPT is to cope with low revs, while the normal turbo then takes over at higher engine revs...this means constant power and loads of torque...= sheer driving fun...

The config u mentioned should be sequential twin turbo, where the LPT provides a smaller boost at low rev while the larger turbo spool up during that time to provide full turbo boost at the higher revs, these work like stages... other experts here pls correct me if i am wrong... cheers! ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
