The Td5 engine utilises a Garrett GT20 turbocharger with an electronically controlled wastegate modulator to
improve engine performance. The turbocharger uses the engines exhaust gas to spin a turbine at very high
speed. This causes inlet air on the other side of the turbine to be drawn in through the turbocharger intake for
compression.The inlet air is carried round by the vanes of the compressor and then thrown out under centrifugal
force from the turbochargers outlet duct. This compression of air enables a greater quantity of air to be delivered
to the inlet manifold via an intercooler. Combustion is improved through better volumetric efficiency. The use of a
turbocharger improves fuel consumption and increases engine torque and power. Exhaust noise is also reduced
due to the smoothing out of exhaust pulsations.
The rear cast iron body of the turbocharger housing connects to a port on the exhaust manifold at the LH side of
the cylinder head by three studs and nuts. The interface between the exhaust manifold and the turbocharger
housing is separated by a metal gasket. The exhaust outlet of the turbocharger is located at the bottom of the
turbocharger cast iron housing. It is connected to the exhaust system front downpipe and is attached by three
studs and nuts. The interface between the turbocharger housing and the exhaust front pipe is separated by a
metal gasket.
The front casing of the turbocharger is constructed from aluminium alloy and is connected to the air inlet duct by a
metal band clip. The compressed air outlet is connected to the intercooler by a metal pipe which has rubber hose
extensions at each end attached by metal band clips.
