A modification package designed to enhance engine performance for a specific model year of a popular compact vehicle, this assembly typically includes a turbocharger, along with necessary components like an intercooler, piping, and fuel management upgrades. Such a package aims to increase horsepower and torque output of the engine.
The implementation of such a system can significantly improve acceleration and overall driving experience. Historically, forced induction methods like turbocharging have been employed to extract greater power from smaller displacement engines, offering an alternative to larger, heavier powerplants. This approach can provide a more favorable power-to-weight ratio, potentially improving fuel efficiency during steady-state driving while also providing increased power when needed.
