Turbo Kit

The goal of a turbo kit is to make the car faster. It does this by increasing the amount of amount of air and fuel the car can burn. A turbo charger forces more air in to the cylinders, thus adding 6-8 PSI of extra pressure. On average this can lead to around 30-40% performance gain. The turbo charger is connected to the exhaust manifold. The turbine which is spun using exhaust is connected to the compressor, which sends pressurized air to the pistons. The more air and gas sent to them allows them to move more rapidly, and offers you a great speed advantage. However, there are some downsides. Running a turbo charger increases the risk of knocks.

Compressing air raises the temperature, which may or may not increase enough to ignore the fuel before the spark plug fires. Because of this, a car with a turbo kit will run better with higher octane fuels. Along with the obvious power advantages, a turbo kit will help your car in high altitude environments. Since the air is dense, engines can’t pack as much air in to the cylinder. Obviously since a turbo will force air in there, you will experience fewer difficulties.
