Hi all,
My query is referring to the Volvo Penta KAD44P-A.
Does anyone know if this engine actually needs the boost generated by its Kompressor (supercharger) to help spool the turbo as the revs increase?
Basically I'm trying to figure out if I had a bad Kompressor or the Kompressor belt failed etc would this engines turbo spool and boost to the max revs (3700 - 3900) or does it need assistance from the Kompressor in order to start the spooling process?
I would imagine the turbo would still spool and boost without the pressure created by the Kompressor even though it may take longer to do so.
Could someone who knows mind clarifying this for me?
Many thanks,
