These days, automakers have been able to squeeze near-unimaginable amounts of power out of seemingly tiny engines. Largely, the turbocharger receives credit for this new phenomenon, as its method of forced induction lends itself to a compact design, meaning it can fit in tight, compact spaces. It’s a good thing, too, because larger-displacement engines, namely V8s, have been on the decline in production over the past two decades or so.
