turbo diesel - 2/25/2008 6:43:15 PM    1989 fleetwood   Posts: 150 Score: 0 Joined: 2/28/2007 Status: online I was just wondering if a turbo in a diesel is the same as in a gasoline engine? As in the exausht air spins half of the turbine in the turbo and the other half spins in the intake to alow for more air flow. Post #: 1

Is a turbo charger better for an engine? (in reply to slowroll) Post #: 5
