Turbo lag is a very common phenomenon with all diesel engines using the turbo charger to boost power output from an engine. Naturally aspirated diesel engine which is more polluting, heavier, having higher power losses makes a diesel engine more lethargic. Turbocharged diesel engine is fuel efficient, having lower emissions and better power. A smaller sized turbocharged diesel engine delivers power equivalent to larger sized engine; Turbo Lag is the time required to change power output in response to throttle inputs. Turbo lag results in slow increase of speed when we press the accelerator pedal. Turbo lag becomes a real cause of concern when rapid changes in power are required. This is due to the time required for a turbocharger and exhaust system to generate the required boost.
