The Turbocharger is a charge booster for internal combustion engines to ensure best engine performance at all speeds and road conditions especially at the higher load. Random selection of turbocharger may lead to negative effects like surge and choke in the breathing of the engine. Appropriate selection or match of the turbocharger (Turbo-matching) is a tedious task and expensive. But perfect match gives many distinguished advantages and it is a onetime task per the engine kind. This study focuses to match the turbocharger to desired engine by simulation and on road test. The objective of work is to find the appropriateness of matching of turbochargers with trim 72 (A58N72) and trim 75 (A58N75) for the TATA 497 TCIC -BS III engine. In the road-test (data-logger method) the road routes like Rough road, highway and slope up were considered for evaluation. The operating conditions with respect various speeds, routes and simulated outputs were compared with the help of compressor map.
