It's no secret that Ford EcoBoost® engines are supremely powerful. In fact, the "boost" in EcoBoost® comes from the added power that is achieved in the process of turbocharging. Turbocharged engines use a turbine and compressor to pressurize the air that comes into the combustion chambers. The pressurized air is very dense, allowing for more air particles to enter the cylinders. The increase in air and fuel causes an instantaneous flood of power and gives the engine added power. Turbocharged engines deliver an added punch when it comes to passing and merging for cars, and increased towing and hauling capability for trucks and SUVs.

Through a method of injecting a very fine mist of fuel directly into the combustion chamber, overall power and efficiency are maximized.
