Turbochargers once were associated more with high performance than with efficiency. New turbocharging systems, however, tell a different story. By using otherwise wasted exhaust to provide a power boost, they allow car manufacturers to create smaller engines that act more like larger ones. “Turbocharging used to be a technology that was widely associated with pure performance gains,” said Mike Stoller, director of communications for Honeywell, which designs and builds turbochargers.
