PowerPulse is a technology that helps eliminate the slow onset of power typical for turbocharged engines.

The slow onset of power, the so-called turbo lag, is a problem with many turbocharged engines. What is it really about, and what is turbo lag?

Turbochargers are popular for boosting an engine's power without increasing size or weight. Turbocharged engines are replacing naturally aspirated ones since even smaller engines are able to put out more horsepower and torque.

However, putting the increased power and other benefits aside, turbocharged engines are often associated with the word turbo lag.

A turbocharger, or "turbo" in short, is a device that increases the power of an internal combustion engine by forcing air into the combustion chamber.

The increase in power comes from the engine receiving many more oxygen molecules from the same air volume. Since the air is pressurized, the mixture is more explosive, the engine thus accelerates more easily, and it does not need more fuel.
