Turbocharger System 2.4L (NCG)
The turbocharger is a performance part and must not be tampered with. The wastegate bracket is an integral part of the turbocharger. Tampering with the wastegate components can reduce durability by increasing cylinder pressure and thermal loading due to incorrect inlet and exhaust manifold pressure. Poor fuel economy and failure to meet regulatory emissions laws may also result. Increasing the turbocharger boost WILL NOT increase engine power. The turbocharger is an exhaust-driven supercharger, which increases the pressure and density of the air entering the engine. With the increase of air entering the engine, more fuel can be injected into the cylinders, which creates more power during combustion. Refer to the Service information for description and operation of the Turbo system. The Turbo system consists of the following components.
- Turbocharger with Surge Valve and Wastegate Actuators
- Surge Valve Solenoid
- Throttle Inlet Pressure (TIP) Solenoid
- Wastegate Solenoid
- Throttle Inlet Pressure (TIP) Sensor
