Introduction In the world of internal combustion engines, turbochargers have become a popular method of increasing power and efficiency. This gas compressor, often referred to simply as a turbo, is a form of forced induction that forces air into the engine, resulting in more power for a given displacement. In this blog, we will explore the inner workings of turbochargers and their impact on engine performance. The Components of a Turbocharger At its most basic level, a turbocharger consists of three major components: the turbine, the compressor, and the bearing system that supports the turbine shaft connecting the turbine and compressor wheels. The turbine is located on the hot side of the turbocharger and is bolted onto the engine's exhaust manifold. As the engine runs, the exhaust gases pass through the turbine, spinning a fan called the turbine wheel. This spinning motion converts heat and pressure into rotational force, which in turn spins the compressor wheel. The compres
By applying large sheets of vinyl to your car, you'll change its colour to make a completely new and refreshed look - this is often called a car wrap. The vinyl completely covers the paintwork of your car and protecting it from the stone chips and minor abrasions caused through general wear and tear. If any section of the car does become damaged for any reason, the vinyl are often easily repaired or replaced. This means that panels of your car are often individually re-wrapped at any time. Installers begin by giving the car a quick, detailed clean, before they begin the process of removing bumpers, badges, rubber seals and other components of the car. After which they then start to slowly apply the vinyl, ensuring that all edges are wrapped around, and that there are no loose fitting pieces of material. This process is done through the use of a heat gun, plastic scraper, and a steady set of hands. Once all pieces have been wrapped, the parts of the car that wer
