Function

Turbocharger (TC)
The exhaust gases enter the turbine housing via the manifold and then flow out to the exhaust system via the down pipe and three-way catalytic converter (TWC). The turbine expels the exhausts and rotates the compressor wheel. The compressor wheel creates a certain amount of suction using the intake air. This intake air enters the compressor via the air filter and uses a rotational movement to speed up the air, creating the boost pressure.

The air then continues into the intake system. The wastegate valve then controls the boost pressure in the turbocharger by determining the amount of exhaust gases which must pass the turbine to transfer drive to the compressor. The by-pass valve is a membrane which equalizes the pressure of the intake and exhaust air to eliminate noise.
