turbos wear enfine out faster ..more blowby too...dirtier oil. There is no free lunch. Puts more stress on components.
-
little micro turbo you have isn't shit but a paper weight
-
right? right? right? right? right?????? RIGHTTT!?!?!? lmao
-
Just bought a Lexus NX 200T, it has just about NO turbo lag, don't really feel it myself.
-
This didn't teach me ant thing
-
Regarding realiably, I have yet to see a turbo on a modern downsized car (below 2.0l) that survives more than ~200.000km without major issues.
-
right?
-
right?
-
please stop saying "right"? every other sentence. I can understand without...
-
free energy = 3" downpipe and no exhaust. Turbo is amazing!
-
1.small turbo burn more fuel than larger equivalent in low rpm to cool them selfs down i europ we all ready quiting down sizing
2.ye right - meaby now when tech is beter but in older engines turbos broke
3.depends on boost and compresion ratio -
"... I had chief engineers calling from all over the world saying, Hey I need better fuel economy come help me put a turbo on my engine!"
Bitchwha? "Chief engineers" working in their parents' garage? -
Thank goodness GM finally is functioning in non brain-dead mode now and is developing half-decent power trains and stylish cars now. Anyone who lived through the unreliable 3.4/3.5L OHV V6 crap GM North America made understandably won't buy GM again. I still remember the 1999 or 2000 Grand Am at my mechanics that was sucking in coolant through the intake manifold, two or three years old. enough said...

Hi, thanks, Question: I have some Synthetic oil bottles bought ahead,
they are different grades, ¿It is safe to use any grade in a turbo engine?, and ¿Which is the best grade for next oil purchase?, ¿How you let cool down the turbo? and ¿how much time?, My car is a Malibu 2014 2LTZ 2.0 Turbo. -
LOL, he got his thrust and radial bearing applications wrong at the end there!!! A slip up I'm sure, but funny non the less
-
Since when does turbo's not have turbo lag? 🤔
-
Right?
-
He seems to be leaving out the fact that even by downsizing, you still use more fuel thanks to just increasing pressure. you still have to put as much fuel in, because you're putting more air in.

This guy has never driven a turbo powered car, I guess. Turbo lag is real but doesn't produce cutlery noise! 😂
