turbocharger is a simple device. It is nothing more than an air pump driven by energy remaining in the exhaust gases as they exit an engine. Of the enegery released in the combustion process, approximately one-third goed into the cooling system,one-third becomes power dow the crankshaft., and one-third dumped out the tailpipe as heat. It iss this last third that we can use to power the turbo.

There are two ways to get more putts per minute: add more cylinders or rev the engine higher.. That leaves lotte work with, as the whole field of endeavor known as blueprinting is almost solely for the purpose of allowing higher with some degree of safety. Consider that those nasty inertial loeds goes up with the square of the rpm inty. That means that at 7200 rpm, the inertial will be 144% greater than at 6000 rpm.

Up to the boost threshould the engine's torque curve remains virtually the same as that of an atmospheric engine. To acceleratie through this range at full trottle, the driver would feel a surge in power as the torque curve takes an upward swing at the boost threshould. If full throttle is not used, the turbo makes no contribution to the torque curve, and acceleration continues the same as with a non-turbo engine

The thermal load in an engine not orginally designed for a turbocharger will casue an increase in component and cooling-system temperatures when operating under boost.. The components and coolingsystem can handle the temperature increase for a limited period. Experience has led me to believe the time limit at full boost is on the order of 20 to 25 seconds.

Will the transmission and drivetrain be adversely affected?
Very unlikely. Consider that the drivetrain endures more torque in first gear from the stoch engine than almost any turbo engine can produce in seconde gear.
