Advantages and Disadvantages of Turbo Engines

From the perspective of advantages, turbo engines have advantages in fuel efficiency while achieving maximum power. In the past, to achieve maximum power, a large displacement was required. However, now with a small engine, supported by a turbo, the power can be greater.

In terms of disadvantages, turbo engine owners often misunderstand. They think that the presence of a turbo allows the vehicle to be driven continuously at high speeds.

In fact, this can be dangerous as it can shorten the lifespan of the engine and the turbo. Therefore, even with a turbo, it does not mean it can be used continuously at high speeds.

When discussing engines, you must maintain them regularly. Not only that, but you also need to service them at an authorized workshop.

For owners of Daihatsu Charade Turbo, Daihatsu Rocky Turbo, or other products, you can maintain your gasoline turbo and all other car components at an authorized Daihatsu workshop.
