How Does A Turbo Work?
I was wondering if you guys could explain to me how a turbo works? I think I know how it works but I'm not completely sure

Basicly, the exhaust spins a turbine, which produces more air, so you can shove more air/fuel into the motor. With having to wait for the xhaust to spin it, that's where turbo lag comes in.
With intercoolers and such, a good shot of cool air can be had and resulting in HP......
