That object compresses air into the pistons and makes a bigger boom=] For a more detailed explanation, please visit: http://www.btnturbo.co.uk/spindoctor/?id=6

A turbo is an exhaust gas powered supercharger.It uses the expansion of waste gas(exhaust) to spin a turbine wheel (the hotter the exhaust gases the faster they will expand and in turn the faster the turbine wheel will spin) that is connected by a shaft to an impeller wheel that sucks in and compresses the intake air charge before it reaches the combustion chamber
