Designed to improve the volumetric efficiency of an internal combustion engine, the turbocharger is a forced induction device which can increase an engines output. It is essentially a turbine driven by the exhaust gases which sucks in air and forces it into the cylinders, unlike the supercharger, which is mechanically driven by the engines crankshaft.
