Smaller engines with a turbocharger, appeal to consumers and auto companies. Because, they offer more power, but with the fuel efficiency, of a smaller engine.
Turbochargers made it possible, for the smaller engine, to keep the same speed and performance, as its larger predecessor. Consequently, by making use of exhaust gases.
The additional air produced, by the turbocharger, gets pushed into the cylinder, allowing for more fuel to be burnt. #engineportal #turbocharger

Pictures of my current vehicular project/nightmare: my '05 Subaru Outback XT with 150k miles. Turbocharger went out, so I decided to replace it myself while also upgrading the oil delivery and upgrading the up pipe (both common failure points). Initially the replacement worked fine, but after less than 50 miles I started to smell exhaust and wasn't building boost. This points to a failed or improperly seated gasket between the turbo, up pipe, and exhaust. So now I'm pulling it completely apart again to replace gaskets!

This is the perfect mountain car (high ground clearance, cargo capacity, boosted for elevation, AWD, reasonable fuel economy) so I'd prefer to keep it until a viable EV alternative is available. That said, between the clutch two hundred miles ago and the turbocharger, I'm out over $2500 in just a couple months. This is the only viable option in the current car market; buying new or used is far too expensive!
