variable geometry turbocharger
A variable geometry turbocharger (VGT) is a type of turbo that adjusts its internal blades to control airflow into the engine, optimizing performance across different speeds. By changing the blade angles, it can provide quicker response at low RPMs and maintain high power at high RPMs, improving fuel efficiency and reducing turbo lag. Think of it as a smart, adjustable device that fine-tunes the boost pressure in real-time, ensuring the engine runs smoothly and efficiently under various driving conditions.
