How does it work?
Wondering what the stages of throttle response are. Say I am moving at 5MPH and then floor it. How does the engine/transmission/tubos act? I know the engine revs up and, I think, the trans kicks down and somewhere the turbo kicks in or revs up or something. Just curious and all comments are welcome. I guess what I am looking for is how does the turbo work? Is it spinning all time and then give a boost somewhere during the rev up.

Your car burns fuel and air. Once this happens, it creates exhaust gas which is expelled through the exhaust. Enter the turbo, the turbo is placed right after the exhaust manifold and has two two turbines ( intake and exhaust) contained in the turbine housing. The turbo utilizes otherwise wasted exhaust gas to spin the exhaust turbine and correspondingly spin the intake turbine, thus compressing and forcing more intake air into each cylinder and making more power. This is all controlled by the waste gate which sits next to the exhaust turbine. When the car controls boost it opens the waste gate and basically bypasses the exhaust turbine and controlling how fast the turbine spins.
That's it in short. |

LinkA8A0A: Thank you for the very informative reply. I will save it so that I can digest it more later. I have read about the Turbo operation but never, thoroughly, understood it.

The turbine sits in the exhaust manifold and takes energy from exhaust gases. This energy is used to drive the compressor. The compressor then takes intake air and forces it into the intake manifold. |

The semantics are important, what you described doesn't exist. And the turbos on BMWs are cast into the exhaust manifold, it's one part according to BMW
