A turbocharger consists of two fans on the same axle. The exhaust gasses pass by one of the fans and gets it spinning. Then the other fan on the same axle also starts to spin, and that fan is used to blow more air into the engine. With more air going in the engine can also take more fuel, and with more fuel burned the engine makes more power.
