The AET Blog – Turbo Facts

If you read last month’s ‘Turbocharged Future” post, you’ll know that Turbocharging is going mainstream.

More and more major vehicle manufacturers are turning to the technology in an effort to combat rising fuel prices and ever increasing vehicle emissions’ standards.

In this post, we look at some of the current and near-future developments in turbocharging technology, and how this looks set to affect the engines of the future.

Whilst turbocharging was once reserved for true petrolheads and performance enthusiasts, the technology is now becoming more and more popular amongst mainstream automakers.

In this post, we’ll be looking at the reasons behind the trend, and why the turbo looks destined to become even more popular with both consumers and vehicle manufacturers over the next decade.

Our experienced teams have been helping customers from across the UK with their turbocharger repairs since 1974.

In this post, we’ll be sharing some of the knowledge about common causes of turbocharger damage, and teaching you how to tell when your turbocharger is in need of a service, repair or rebuild.

At AET Turbos, we’re often asked to explain the difference between turbochargers and superchargers.

Whilst we briefly covered the topic in last month’s Turbocharger FAQ, this post aims to explain the differences in more detail, covering the mechanics, along with the major pros and cons of each technology.

Over the coming months, we’re writing a series of posts in which we’ll be sharing some of the knowledge and experience we’ve built up over the past 40 years.

In the first of these posts, we’ve written a short FAQ that covers some of the more basic aspects of the turbocharger. This is designed as a taster, and we’ll be covering many of these topics in more detail in future posts.
