How exactly does a turbocharger work? Thu, 27 February 2003 11:23 Go to next message
Hey guys, i thought that if i was gonna do the 3SGTE operation, i should know how it all works. I know how a regular engine works but i have no idea what exactly the turbo does. can anyone help me? Also, what do wastegates and BOV's have to do with it? do they increase power or are they just for wankers with shilvias?

Thanks guys.

My girlfriend bought me the How Stuff Works book for Valentines day. I love her to bits Smile
The book is a great read (better than staring at the screen).

Do ya reckon we're allowed to take our girlfriends to the natinals or is it for blokes only, meaning, would they be in a very small minority?

Geez dude it's not the 1950's... I'm sure women will be "allowed" to come along.
