With the continuous push by the government to reduce vehicular emissions and increase the overall fleet mpg range, auto manufacturers have decided to utilize lighter materials, lower rolling resistance tires and create more fuel efficiency engines. To increase the fuel efficient of an engine, there are a few technologies that can be applied, from reducing the internal friction of the engine, reducing the weight of moving components, applying direct injection and as of now the most popular trend; turbocharging.
Many people currently in the market for a fuel efficient car that is not a Prius, maybe shown a car that might be Twin Turbo charger. Unaware that there are two layouts that a Twin Turbo charger engine maybe packaged as, a decision maybe made without full knowledge of how the layout could affect performance and efficiency. Luckily enough for the information seeking consumer, there is an engineer that is welling to breakdown clearly the subtle variations that make up the differences between a Parallel and Sequential Twin Turbo Charger engine. For the mind that wants to learn more about how a car works, see the video below.
