to keep a long explanation short.... the job of the turbo is to compress the incoming air to increase air amount per cubic foot (or some similar measurement) also the reason why turbos have larger fuel injectors. you dont want to starve the engine with too little fuel and too much air. this results in more horsepower
The purpose of turbo Volvo cars are to allow faster altered driving. They are typically more expensive than regular cars, since they are modified cars.
Yes.
You HAVE to intercool a turbo. The purpose of the intercooler is to cool the exhaust before it circulates back through the turbo. The power gains very depending on the size of the turbo and the amount of boost you're running.
You can install one, but don't expect your motor to last. Turbo equipped engines use pistons and crankshafts purpose-built to handle the added boost pressure from a turbo. Installing a turbo on a non-turbo engine can literally blow a piston through the oil pan. There are plenty of other destructive outcomes. In a word, don't.
Turbo C is a compiler for a general purpose computer programming language called C. It transforms code written in C into the computer language needed for executable programming.
An intercooler is used on a turbocharged (or supercharged) engine. Assuming you have a turbo diesel: The turbo compresses air to get more air into your engine. More air + more fuel = more power. The air heats up as it is compressed, reducing it's density. An intercooler chills the air, increasing its density allowing for greater power to be generated.
A turbo timer is a device which keeps the engine running after the key is removed. The purpose of the TT is to continue cooling the turbo by circulating oil through the turbo's oil lines, to avoid the effect of oil coking, in which oil sits in the hot lines, bakes, and develop deposits that may degrade turbo bearing performance. A turbo timer is not required of all vehicles - the Subaru WRX owner manual specifically addresses this issue, but some older vehicles will benefit from the practice of installing one.
Coolers are necessary after a turbo-charge to help in the smooth running of the engine. The main purpose of the coolers is to cool down the engine after using a turbo charger.
Turbo = 1 turbo, Twin Turbo = 2 turbos

There already is a wastegate in turbo diesel engines, most all turbo (petrol/diesel) engines for that matter. The purpose of a wastegate is to give the exhaust gasses a passage to flow that doesn't spool the turbo over the desired psi. The 2 most common wastegate designs are: 1. a series veins that surround the exhaust wheel of the turbo and pivot to open and close off the pathway to the exhaust wheel. 2. a swinging plug that opens a hole at peak boost and allows exhaust gasses to pass whithout spinning the turbo any further.
In the case of engines, turbo is used as a contracted name for the turbo charger.
