The B01-series turbocharger is claimed to boost performance, improve fuel economy and reduce

Designed for 0.8L- to 1.6L engines, BorgWarner’s new flex fuel turbocharger will debut with an unnamed global automaker in mid-2015.
“Downsized, boosted gasoline engines are already a major trend,” said BorgWarner Turbo Systems president and general manager, Frederic Lissalde.
“As drivers in Brazil also desire fuel economy and lower emissions, we expect demand for our latest turbocharging technology to grow significantly. BorgWarner has been producing turbochargers for commercial and light-duty diesel vehicles in Brazil for 40 years.
“Our latest innovations in flex fuel turbocharging technology will allow us to expand into Brazil’s gasoline-powered passenger car market.”
