Abstract: A turbocharger system for an internal combustion engine comprises two turbochargers each having a turbine (5, 6) drivably connected to a compressor (7, 8). Temperature sensors (19, 20) are disposed to sense the temperature at the compressor outputs. The temperature are monitored to give an indication of an imbalance condition for which corrective action may be taken. The arrangement provides for reliable and inexpensive monitoring.
