I cant illustrate it here but it is pretty simple.

Exhaust gas is used to propel an impeller fan located in turbo on the exhaust side, the impeller thereby is connected to a shaft that extends from the exhaust side to the intake side of the turbo. The blades on the intake side are call the compressor which provides a boost of additional air to improve the fuel/air ratio which improves combustion efficiency making the car go faster, the faster you go the more exhaust you create resulting in the increased boost you get.

Many turbo intake systems are inter-cooled (using engine coolant to lower compressed air temperature for increased combustion efficiency (due to air that is more dense. Some systems use and after-cooler which also works in an effort to cool the compressed air from the turbo. The after-cooler uses outside air and it is usually using the same air pushed by the engine fan to cool the compressed turbocharger air.

The turbo itself does get very hot due to the exhaust gases used to turn it and the spindle connecting the impeller and compressor fans is running on a very thin layer of pressurized engine oil which is fed by the engine oil pump. This thin layer of oil provides a kind of very low friction "bearing" for the spindle to ride on which helps it to repeatedly reach over 100,000 rpm.
