BMW 135i Turbo Parts

If you're looking for a boost in performance, consider adding a turbocharger, or turbo, to your BMW 135i. Turbochargers typically deliver far greater power than a naturally aspirated engine can produce, making them an ideal solution for driving enthusiasts.

How Do Turbochargers Work?

In an internal combustion engine, a turbocharger acts as a forced induction device. The shaft of the turbocharger has a turbine wheel on one side and a compressor wheel on the other. The turbine is powered by the flow of exhaust gases, and uses that energy to compress the intake gases. That forces more air into your engine, leading to more fuel entering the engine. That then leads to an increase in mechanical power and a more efficient combustion process. In fact, turbochargers can even help you achieve greater fuel efficiency!

How Do You Spot a Bad Turbo?

Turbochargers aren't immune to failing, however. Signs of trouble include:

• Poor acceleration
• Excessive exhaust smoke
• Darker exhaust smoke
Worsening fuel efficiency
• A loud noise coming from your engine that sounds like a siren
• Your "Check Engine" light comes on
