What is a turbo?
Ah yes, the science bit. A turbocharger is a turbine driven forced induction compressor powered by pressure from the engine's exhaust gas. But of course you knew that, didn't you?
Our scarily knowledgeable turbo repair boffin tells us: 'The objective of a turbocharger is to improve upon the size-to-output efficiency of an engine by solving 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 through the intake valves'.
Since we imagine you didn't swallow a Haynes manual for breakfast, we'll let our turbo repair service boffin get back to the day job whilst we explain things in a way that's slightly less likely to leave you wanting to throw yourself under a passing Isuzu (after it's had its turbo repair work done, obviously).
Turbochargers compress the air flowing into the engine. And if you compress the air then you can fit more of it into the cylinder. The more air you force into the cylinder the more fuel you can add and when you put more of those two things together you get a bigger explosion in the cylinder. A bigger explosion in your cylinder gives you more power overall than you'd get from an engine that hasn't been turbocharged.
