"A turbo: Exhaust gasses go into the turbocharger and spin it, witchcraft happens, and you go faster." -J. Clarkson

This was a lot of fun! I can't wait to get that bad boy bolted up to the GTI!!!! Thanks for hanging out with me Jason :)

What going on with level of volume

"Pew Pew Pew" - Engineering Explained 2017

Being that Arizona is experiencing 120°F+ weather lately (which I haven't felt for approx 20 years), could you perhaps do a video discussion on the affects of extreme heat on a motor (both forced induction and naturally aspirated)? Or perhaps any other aspect of the vehicle that may be adversely affected by extremely high temperatures? Thank you. Take care my friend.

so your saying if I'm driving an 800$ silverado. I have to put 7000$ in parts and labor just to get 10 mpg. Great vid. thanks for killing my dreams of turbo charged lawn care truck.

"just don't paint it black" lol little jab at MCM there 😂😂

Never miss an EE video. Sound advice that comes from the top.

Really like the vids with the mechanic dude, we get the paper numbers and the real life scenario. Best of both worlds! Keep up the good work!

It wouldn't be an Engineering Explained video with out the white board @ 5:31. It had me rollin.

Awesome Charles! I love these upgrades/mods. I can't wait to watch this built and running. I had a similar setup on a Honda a few years ago. Injectors, pump, ECU etc 💪🏼👌🏼👍🏼

I love how informative your videos are man! I'm new to manuals and have learned a whole bunch from you. Thank you and keep it up.

Huge thanks for making this video, I plan to turbo my car and was wondering what I needed to change to get it ready and reliable. You guys covered what I needed :)

Upgraded fans can actually reduce cooling at speed. A crossflow radiator is the simple way to increase your cooling capacity at all vehicle speeds. A larger (or oversized) intercooler is actually a good idea to increase reliability, as it reduces IAT significantly. Even though that turbo is over twice as large as necessary, this is good to keep IATs down as well, since 10psi is at the low end of it's efficiency island.

Thank you for this! Youtube need a video like this to teach that you can't just bolt a turbo on and your good to go. Great job! 👍🏼

step one for turbo charging your car is have money

This is crazy to see how much you have grown I remember being subscribed when your car got first stolen lol and you did a video on it congrats on the hard work I hope you see this

Turbocharging my tacoma was probably one of the coolest things I've ever done. The same truck and engine come (came) factory with optional supercharger pushing 6-8 PSI, so 8 PSI from a turbo is nothing she can't handle. EVERYTHING about the engine and fueling is stock. Has methanol injection to compensate for the extra air, so I get extra fuel and way higher knock threshold in one package. 4 years later she's still boosting and whoopin booties.. in fact just whooped a chipped and tuned Cummings the other night. Fun fun
