Intake, Compression, Combustion(Expansion), and Exhaust. Combustion stroke is what we normally think of, as it pushes the piston down to make the power.

The inferred EBP sensor strategy uses engine speed and boost pressure to calculate the EBP, rather than measuring it directly with a sensor. This method is less precise than a direct measure method, but it still helps to m
