4. TURBOCHARGER
The turbocharger is installed in order to boost the air pressure fed into the intake manifold so that there is a
dense air/fuel mixture in the combustion chamber.
As they are “low gas pressure” engines, the air-fuel mixture is created at atmospheric pressure (carburettor next
to the air filter) and later the air-fuel mixture is compressed.
From the turbocharger outlet, the mixture passes through the air cooler to the elbow in the Throttle valve and
from there it is diverted towards the intake manifold.
