Yes. But the real difference is the turbo. By making use of the exhaust heat to spin the turbine which force more air into the engine, the efficiency increases. That is, there is less waste heat, so more of the energy in the fuel goes to turning the flywheel and less goes out the tail pipe. Therefore, a turbo-supercharged engine can generate more power _and_ use less fuel. -- Philip _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
