Engine Technology International discusses the future of boosting. Using Turbos or superchargers started out as an exotic performance technology, now, turbocharging has become the default position for all diesel engines and the majority of today’s gasoline engines.

Automotive component maker BorgWarner on Friday annouced that the company has developed a dual volute turbocharger engineered for gasoline engines in light-duty vehicles with aggressive transient response targets.

Turbocharged petrol engines are the norm these days globally. Almost every new car aiming to deliver on the performance front has a turbocharger bolted on.

Its low latency properties will drive growth in connected and autonomous vehicle markets while enabling data and signal sharing in real-time, which is crucial for maintaining safety in the connected ecosystem. Another key factor is that the network will allow a larger number of devices to be connected at the same time in a more stable environment.

Boost: The amount of pressure, measured in pounds, of how much air a turbocharger packs into the engine's cylinders
