Turbocharger Installation and Performance Analysis

The video explores the comparison between a $320 and a $3,200 turbocharger installed on Subaru WRXs. The team installs the turbos, explains their functionality, and discusses necessary supporting modifications. They face challenges, including engine rebuilds, and finally test the cars to see which turbo performs better. The $3,200 turbo proves to be more powerful, highlighting that more expensive parts can lead to better performance.
