What are the benfits of using a turbo ina car?
Answers:
Turbocharging is a type of forced induction system on an internal combustion engine. What turbo charging enables is a larger amount of air to be forced, at above atmospheric pressure, into the combustion chambers, creating a bigger bang when vaporised fuel is injected and the mixture ignited and therefore a more powerful explosion. Engines without turbos are known as normally aspirated, meaning the air is delivered to the combustion chamber at atmospheric pressure. Because the turbo enables more air to be supplied to the engine, the fuel injectors on turbo engines also run at higher efficiency.
It'll go faster.That's it.
1. Higher H.P. with a better specific fuel consumption. i.e., gallons/bhp/hour.
2. Weight/power ratio becomes less, that is the weight of the car is lesser for a H.P.
3. Higher acceleration for the same weight of car.

A turbo actually makes a car more fuel-efficient as it gets more power from a smaller capacity engine.
pull the girls! :P
It's a cheap way of getting more power out of a engine
SPEED! And probably more noise!
more efficiant and environmental friendly.
Basically Jap' (Ricers) Sports cars would not exist without them.
In Europe, it allowed the likes of Porsche with Turbo to go up against Mercedes with their superchargers and win.
Take the Lancia Y10 turbo for instance. less than 1Ltr engine with Turbo + Lite chassis = High Power to weight ratio. High fun for less money.
First off, non-turbo engines are called naturally aspirated, not normally aspirated. Turbo's a form of forced induction similar to superchargers. Both of which use exhaust gases to spin a turbine which pumps more air into the cylinders. Denser air combusts more efficiently, therefore more power is gained. The difference between turbo's and superchargers, is while superchargers are always forcing air into the cylinders, turbo's only force air in at a certain RPM. For example, a car with a turbo is naturally aspirated until it hits like 3500 rpms, and then the turbo kicks in, gives the engine more boost (air pressure in the cylinders) and the car performs better. The advantages to this system are: more power for a smaller engine. Turbo's allow 2.0 liter four cylinder Evo's to destroy V8 GTO's with twice the displacement. Also, turbo's produce slightly better gas mileage. But the main purpose of turbo's is to increase performance.
Deed and Kevin have great answers.
The only thing they didn't say is that if you're sticking a turbo onto your "normally / naturally" aspirated engine. You better know what you are doing because a naturally aspirated engine was not designed to have force induction. You better know or know somebody who will tune it on a frequent basis. If you don't, I guarantee you will blow your engine.
In addition to getting much more whps and better performance. You need to upgrade your injectors. 720cc would work nicely. You need to get in more gas into the engine since the force induction will be adding a lot more air into the mixture. Without it, you'll be running on lean conditions.
it makes the car goes faster and sounds better.
