Acura’s first-ever turbo is a variable flow unit that significantly reduces turbo lag, and, Acura claims, increases durability due to its construction. As with other turbochargers on new cars today, the Acura version – the first ever turbo on an Acura vehicle – features variable air flow, meaning that it provides a consistent level of exhaust gas inside the turbine at all engine speeds, which minimizes lag. You know turbo lag. It’s that delay between the moment you step on the accelerator and when the turbo kicks in.
