The pressure between the turbocharger and the throttle valve is called?

  1. turbocharger boost pressure

  2. induction manifold pressure

  3. upper deck pressure

  4. intercooler output pressure

The correct answer is: upper deck pressure

The other options are not correct because they are either referring to a different type of pressure or a different location within the engine. Option A, turbocharger boost pressure, refers to the pressure generated by the turbocharger itself, not the pressure between the turbocharger and throttle valve. Option B, induction manifold pressure, refers to the pressure in the intake manifold, not the pressure between the turbocharger and throttle valve. Option D, intercooler output pressure, refers to the pressure coming out of the intercooler, not the pressure between the turbocharger and throttle valve. Only option C accurately describes the pressure between the turbocharger and throttle valve, which is known as upper deck pressure.
