Default turbo -
A turbocharger is a turbine device which places a fan within the exhaust system. Exhaust gas pressure causes this fan to spin very rapidly (in the neighborhood of 100,000 rpm). The exhaust fan is attached to a driveshaft that turns a separate fan within the intake system, forcing additional fuel and air into the intake manifold under high pressure, or "boost", producing more horsepower and torque.
