a turbo is more efficient then a supercharger, which is maybe why they switched

The latest shape is turbocharged. The turbos are faster and better on fuel than the supercharged ones. Build quality is better. But they cost more so you would expect that.

That would explain one dumping behind me yesterday, couldn't work it out because I thought they were all super charged. Then I smoked him

twin scroll

Pop the bonnet and you’ll see the THP 175 engine cradled in ample surroundings. It’s the same unit you’ll find in the Mini Cooper S, and it’s a bit of a corker. The THP stands for Turbo High Pressure, and the KKK turbocharger is a twin-scroll item. This apparently means that the exhaust gases from cylinders 1 and 4, and 2 and 3 are paired and then passed through scrolls to control the flow to the turbine. The result is that it starts generating boost from just 1000rpm, which in turn helps response. As on the Mini, there’s also an overboost facility that delays the opening of the wastegate, allowing pressure to swell from 0.8bar to 1bar and increasing torque by an extra 15lb ft as a result. All in all, a very clever piece of kit.
