    The white area on the left side of the scale shows manifold vacuum under normal driving conditions, the short white dash is atmospheric pressure (engine off), the orange scale is where there is safe turbo boost, the red scale is boost above 0.5 - 0.7 bar where the wastegate may be opened or a fuel cut due to overboost may occur.

  3. Boost controller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boost_controller

    Electronic controllers add greater flexibility in management of boost pressures, compared with the manual controllers. [2] The actuation of an electronic boost controller can be managed by one of two control systems: Open-loop is the simpler option, where control output is merely based on other inputs such as throttle angle and/or engine speed ...

  4. Turbo timer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbo_timer

    It was originally intended to keep the engine running a preset amount of time as to let the engine cool, and prevent carbon buildup. Eventually HKS developed the turbo timer more, including features such as adjustable timing, multiple different time presets, the ability to monitor voltage, as well as a combined security system as well. [2]

  5. Power seat - Wikipedia

    Here the seat controls are located on the door panels, next to the memory seat controls. Above the seat settings are the memory control settings which also set the mirrors and pedals. A power seat in an automobile is a seat in a passenger compartment that can be adjusted using a button, switch or joystick and a set of small electric motors ...

  6. Wastegate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wastegate

    Use of the second port is not necessary. Secondary ports, unlike primary ports, cannot be simply attached to a boost control line and require electronic or manual control to be useful. CO 2 can also be used to apply pressure to the second port, to control boost on a much finer level.

  7. Car controls - Wikipedia

    The large hand-levers set the rear-wheel parking brake and put the transmission in neutral (left) and control an after-market 2-speed transmission adapter (right). Car controls are the components in automobiles and other powered road vehicles, such as trucks and buses, used for driving and parking.

  8. Boost gauge - Wikipedia

    Boost gauge on a Ford Focus RS (left) 30 psi Boost gauge Top: Turbo/APC boost gauge in a Saab 900. A boost gauge [1] is a pressure gauge that indicates manifold air pressure or turbocharger or supercharger boost pressure [2] in an internal combustion engine. They are commonly mounted on the dashboard, on the driver's side pillar, or in a radio ...

  9. Antilag system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antilag_system

    The anti-lag system (ALS) is a method of reducing turbo lag or effective compression used on turbocharged engines to minimize turbo lag on racing or performance cars. It works by retarding the ignition timing and adding extra fuel (and sometimes air) to balance an inherent loss in combustion efficiency with increased pressure at the charging side of the turbo.
