It is two turbines. One that is spun by the exhaust as it exits the engine. This spins the second turbine which is in the intake stream and pressurizes the air entering the engine as it spins. Once boost builds up to a predetermined amount, say 15 pounds of pressure, the wastegate will open and blow-off any extra pressure it is making.

The exhaust gas is forced across a fan blade which causes it to spin. The fan is attached to a shaft and on the other end of the shaft, there is another fan blade that will also spin and this will cause the intake air to compress. This will put more air into the cylinder and you can add more gas so you get more power from the cylinder. The faster the engine turns, the more exhaust. The more exhaust the more the turbo spins, the more it spins, then the more pressure it will create. That's how it works.

a turbocharger works on exhaust flow to spin a turbine wheel. this wheel is connected with a solid shaft to a compressor wheel. the compressor wheel draws air into the compressor section of the turbo, accelerates the air into the intake system, and due to back pressure in the intake system, pressurizes the system. we call this back pressure boost. when air is compressed it heats up, so when boost pressure rises above a certain pressure level, you want to install an intercooler in the system to cool the air before it gets pushed into the cylinders. remember that denser air contains more oxygen, and thus increases power.

it is a device that is attached to the exhaust manifold,.. it uses the exhaust fumuse to turn a wheel that in which blows forced air in to the thottle body and intake... the more forced air that get in the intake the more horse power.....it is all about forced air

it brings more air into the engine which will cause more horepower
