The twin - scroll turbocharger design has several other advantages over traditional, single - scroll turbocharging systems, including: • Improved combustion efficiency • Low engine - speed efficiency • Kinetic exhaust gas energy is not wasted or trapped • Cooler cylinder temperatures • Lower exhaust temperatures • Leaner air / fuel ratio • Better pressure distribution in the exhaust ports and more efficient delivery of exhaust gas energy to the turbocharger's turbine Veloster's twin - scroll turbo has superior handling of exhaust gas separation at the turbine leading to improved low - end torque and faster transient torque response.

Though there are numerous kinds of supercharger designs, their main job is essentially to convert engine power into even more engine power; on the other hand, by using exhaust gasses as their power source, turbochargers recycle what would otherwise be wasted energy.

Let's reword all this and say that we want to improve energy efficiency and reduce waste and real pollution wherever we can, we want to move away from ever scarcer and costlier fossil fuels, particularly those that have to be imported from a price - fixing cartel of nations that are generally hostile to us and we want to develop new domestic sources of energy, be that shale oil and gas, new biofuels (not silly corn - to - ethanol schemes) and other renewable energy sources, etc..
