Is Turbocharge Supercharge (TSI) the direction for car development to push more power ? TSI seems like a good idea where a small engine displacement can produce a lot of power and yet it is fuel efficient. Fuel efficiency is the key selling point for car now, isn't it ? Can other car also implement TSI ? Is TSI VW proprietary technology ?

Toyota Team Europe Group A Toyota Celica GT4 ST185 A little history about the company before we continue with the story. Toyota Motorsport GmbH started in the 1970s as Toyota Team Europe (TTE). The company was responsible for providing technical support for rally driver, Ove Andersson, who was driving a Celica at that time. They also developed the first Japanese car to win the WRC.

After I read this article, I've learnt alot of new insights about turbo. http://www.cse.uconn.edu/~yelevich/turbo/turbo.html When you buy a car, choose one with exhaust manifold facing the front of the car... Mine is towards the firewall Looks like turbo is not a major operation on the car... Just altering the intake and exhausts slightly. I'm only wondering what did they do with MAP sensor? If they bypass/trick it, how does the ECU tune the car base on MAP sensor information? I'm recently researching about turbo because I've test driven my friend's 83 Turbo GTI 1.6l.... Once you boost, you never go back...
