Abstract
The quest for higher efficiency of the internal combustion engine will always
be pursued. Increasingly stringent emission regulations are forcing
manufacturers to downsize on engine displacement and increase specific
power. By adding a turbocharger, the airflow throught he engine and hence
the specific power can be increased.
