The Role of the Turbo Wastegate in Boost Control
Turbocharged engines are admired for the way they deliver extra power and torque without needing larger engine sizes. The secret lies in using exhaust gases to spin a turbine, which then compresses more air into the combustion chamber. But without careful control, a turbocharger could generate far more pressure than an engine can handle. This is exactly why the turbo wastegate is such...
