How much horse power does a turbo add?

The amount of horsepower a turbocharger adds depends on several factors, including the engine's displacement, the turbocharger's size and efficiency, and the boost pressure. Generally speaking, a turbocharger can add anywhere from 50 to 100 horsepower to a stock engine, although some high-performance turbocharged engines can produce much more.

Here are some general guidelines for the amount of horsepower a turbocharger can add:

* Small turbochargers (up to 2.0 liters of displacement): 50-75 horsepower

* Medium turbochargers (2.0-3.0 liters of displacement): 75-100 horsepower

* Large turbochargers (over 3.0 liters of displacement): 100+ horsepower

It is important to note that adding a turbocharger to an engine can also increase the engine's fuel consumption and emissions, so it is important to consider these factors before making a decision about whether or not to turbocharge an engine.
