Two turbine wheels joined to one shaft one turbine is turned by exhaust the other turbine takes in air and blows it into the engine. Blow off valves and waste gates control over boost. Think of an engine as a air pump. Any time you can force in air under pressure the engine grows in size. 2.0 liter engine at 28 lbs per square inch intake pressure becomes a 4.0 liter engine if given twice the fuel. That is why Subaru and Mitsubishi little cars make so much power from small 4cyl engines. But remember all this new turbo technology and high power out put is gained at great cost HEAT any time you compress air it heats up. Thus air to air or air to water inter coolers. Some with little sprayers squirting alcohol solution to cool them down.

The turbo uses hot exhaust gases exiting the engine to spin a turbine. This turbine is connected via a shaft to a compressor in the air intake. As the exhaust turbine spins faster and faster it compresses more and more air which is fed into the engine. More air in the engine means you can burn more fuel, which means a more powerful explosion when that fuel and air is combusted.
The bigger the turbo, the more power can be created as bigger turbos compress more air. However, bigger turbos take longer to spin up to a speed where they are efficent compressors and this delay is known as lag. Bigger turbo, bigger lag.
Nitrous Oxide is sometimes used to overcome the lag, or alternatively you can use a number of turbos of different sizes to provide the power at various points through the rpm range.

A turbocharger consists of a turbine and a compressor linked by a shared axis. The turbine inlet receives exhaust gases from the engine exhaust manifold causing the turbine wheel to rotate. This rotation drives the compressor, compressing ambient air and delivering it to the air intake of the engine.
The objective of a turbocharger is to improve upon the size-to-output efficiency of an engine by solving for one of its cardinal limitations. A naturally aspirated automobile engine uses only the downward stroke of a piston to create an area of low pressure in order to draw air into the cylinder. Since the number of air and fuel molecules determine the potential energy available to force the piston down on the combustion stroke, and because of the relatively constant pressure of the atmosphere, there ultimately will be a limit to the amount of air and consequently fuel filling the combustion chamber. This ability to fill the cylinder with air is its volumetric efficiency. Since the turbocharger increases the pressure at the point where air is entering the cylinder, and the amount of air brought into the cylinder is largely a function of time and pressure, more air will be drawn in as the pressure increases. Thus, the intake pressure can be controllably increased by the turbocharger.
The application of a compressor to increase pressure at the point of cylinder air intake is often referred to as forced induction. Centrifugal superchargers operate in the same fashion as a turbo; however, the energy to spin the compressor is taken from the rotating output energy of the engine's crankshaft as opposed to exhaust gas. For this reason turbochargers are ideally more efficient, since their turbines are actually heat engines, converting some of the kinetic energy from the exhaust gas that would otherwise be wasted, into useful work. Contrary to popular belief, this is not totally "free energy," as it always creates some amount of exhaust backpressure which the engine must overcome. Superchargers use output energy to achieve a net gain, which is at the expense of some of the engine's total output.

A supercharger works by having an engine-driven belt turn a large air compressor to force more air/fuel mixture into the engine, to greatly increase power output. The compressor itself draws power from the engine.
A turbo-charger is a type of super-charger that uses the pressure from the engine's exhaust gases to drive the compressor, which is normally wasted energy, and is therefore more efficient than a supercharger.
Both systems decrease fuel economy, as they force more air/fuel mixture into the engine.

Hot air exiting your car is (a) hot (b) fast. They have energy. So turbo is driven by the hot exhaust gas. That is the "hot" exhaust side.
A shaft is connected to the intake side that blows (or more like stuffs) air into the cylinder (in effect make your small engine more like big engine).

NOS has nothing to do with turbo.

The NoS is shor through the engine, ignited and then makes the pistons run faster and that speeds up the car.
