With the Surbo, the light turbo effect air suction device fitted in the pipe after the air filter, the Peugeot Partner will derive the following benefits:
1. For the petrol manual version: quick revving to red line on the rpm meter with half throttle, faster 0-100 kph acceleration, higher top speed, and hence easier cruising. Therefore, fuel economy improves, especially on the highway. There will be a wider torque spread, with a higher torque peak at a lower rpm, and more bhp.
After the initial Surbo, another may be added to form the Twin Surbo for more low-rpm torque, and it will take up twice the pipe space in a straight line (both Surbos spaced about an inch). The whole air intake can be changed to a Twin_Surbo-ready pipe design. Another option is to fit both Surbos before the air filter.
2. For the automatic version: instant acceleration from standstill as there is more engine torque so no slip is required, higher revving than the usual 3000 rpm with just half throttle, or the ability to change gear up at a lower rpm due to sufficient torque, quick gear kickdown by pressing the accelerator slightly, higher top speed and better fuel economy.
A boost meter can also be added to the Surbo or the Twin Surbo to maximize the driver's control over the Surbo system (which is the Surbo, plus engine and drivetrain). This idea is for non-turbo petrol models only.
3. For the diesel version: higher revs with part throttle, better acceleration, higher top speed, less black smoke. More load lugging ability too.
If a turbocharger is fitted in the Peugeot Partner, the Surbo will help to cut turbo lag as the denser airflow from low rpm of the Surbo will help to spool the turbocharger earlier and bring turbo boost sooner.
