1: What is it?
A low-inertia turbocharger is a type of turbocharger that uses a smaller diameter turbine wheel. It is commonly used in small-displacement turbocharged engines.
2: What is its purpose?
Turbocharged engines often have a phenomenon called turbo lag, where the turbocharger takes some time to start working until reaching higher engine speeds. By using a smaller diameter turbine wheel, a low-inertia turbocharger requires less exhaust gas flow. This effectively reduces turbo lag and improves the engine's responsiveness.
