There are five main parts of a turbocharger;
- turbine housing
- turbine wheel,
- compressor housing
- compressor wheel,
- connecting shaft.
Exhaust will exits the engine into the manifold, flows into the turbine, and spins the turbine wheel. The turbine wheel is connected to the compressor wheel via a shaft . The spinning compressor wheel then sucks ambient air into the compressor and forces it into the engine via a sealed tube, maximizing air intake. It is called "forced induction". With more air in the cylinder, the engine is able to burn more fuel, making more power.
Some turbo expert can tune fuel intake and timing to extract the most power and efficiency from a turbocharged engine.
