How does a car turbo work??
Answers:
it turbos more petrol
In short, it compresses the air/fuel mixture so that more can be sqeezed into the engine. That gives a bigger bang and more power.
Compresses the air in the combustion chamber which allows more fuel to be added. More fuel + more air = bigger explosion. Bigger Explosion = more HP
OK a turbo is 2 fans joined by a spindle.
It's fuctionality is to compress the air going in to the carburetor before combustion.
It works as follows: Exhaust gasses are forced out of the cylinders and spin the first fan.
This then spins the second fan which is feeding air in to the carburetor or input manifold under greater pressure than it would normally be.
This gives the increased power.
An intercooler basically chills that compressed air from the turbo to make it even more compressed to give even more power.
Turbo lag comes from the wait for the exhaust gasses to build up enough pressure to get the fan spinning fast enought to force compressed gas in to the engine.
Hope that helps.
To push an "overflow" of air into the engine- that a regular intake cannot do. More air= more powerful explosion= more H.P.- a little more complex than that. Just think of it as an exhaust driven turbine that forces air into an engine.
Hi >
Above answers correct !
Just to add though -
A turbo-charger used exhaust gas pressure to spin a high-speed turbine, which pressurises the fuel intake system, so basically chucking much more fuel at the internal situation.
Bigger "bang" in the cylinder, more power.
The engine design needs to accomodate this, though.
I had a twin turbo Pontiac Transam V8 thing in the Mid-East, and could get it down to around 9mpg. Petrol was cheap.
Not an eco thing to do, but it didn't half burn some rubber.

A simple answer. Part of the exhaust gases are
injected into the piston together with the fuel.
This increases the compression in the piston
and the fuel explosion is much greater.
Therefore the power also increases.
this is the best site:
not to be confused with a supercharger a turbo works like this. engine starts, engine exhausts turns turbo,air is compressed shoved back into engine mixed with more fuel makes bigger bang therefore creates more power "free".
Its a fairly simple device , its a double tube one tube is the exhaust inside there is an fan that is driven by the exhaust pushing past it the more you accelerate the faster it goes ,the fan is attached to a spindle which goes though to the other tube and another fan which leads to the intake on your engine as it speeds up it pressurises your fuel which delivers it much quicker , so giving the engine a boost
