Boost refers to the forced air induction, the greater the boost the greater the PSI of air being forced into the cylinder.

How do you use turbo on 1990 Volvo?

Turbochargers cannot be turned on or off unless someone has added a valve to adjust the amount of boost -- and even then that's an adjustment. They run on exhaust (turbochargers). If your car is making exhaust it should work.

Is turbo faster than nos?

Turbochargers and nitrous oxide systems (NOS) provide different benefits for increasing engine power. Turbochargers use exhaust gases to increase air intake and can provide more consistent power gains, while NOS provides a sudden boost of power. In general, NOS can provide a quicker boost in power, but it is also more taxing on the engine compared to a turbocharger.

What is more fuel efficient A supercharger or turbocharger?

Turbochargers are more fuel efficient, as they do not put a load on the engine except when accelerating. Even then they create mush less drag than a supercharger, which uses a direct mechanical hookup instead of waste gases to produce its rotational energy. When it comes to power boost, however, superchargers have the advantage as they supply more boost at lower rpm's and can boost to higher manifold pressures than turbos.
