4 cylinder turbo vs 6 cylinder

Topic starter

I was shopping for a newer Acura RDX. Bought a 2017 because in 2019 they went back to 4 cylinder turbo engines. When I drive a 4 cylinder turbo, it runs great when the turbo kicks in. But up to that point, it feels like.....a 4 cylinder. Like...4 cylinder noisy and 4 cylinder (not) smooth. Do you find the same thing when you drive a 4 cylinder motor at slower speeds before turbo engages? Just curious. There are a LOT of 4 cylinder turbos on the road, maybe it's a personal problem.....Thanks! Enjoy your videos!

that's usually how turbos work. They use exhaust pressure, which doesn't really amount to much until higher RPM
