Your car engine is the powerplant of your automobile. Virtually everything that runs on your car, including electrical and electronic equipment, does so because the car engine provides the necessary energy. Even the radio would eventually die if the car engine was not driving the alternator which provides electricity to the battery for the radio.
Still, the car engine does not have to be a complete mystery. For those who are not mechanically inclined, it may help to think of the car engine as a group of subsystems all functioning at the same time. For example, the alternator, mentioned above, is part of the car's electrical system. The car also has a starter system, cooling (and heating) system, lubrication system, air conditioning system, Power Steering system, fuel system, exhaust and emission control system and even a brake system (most cars today have either power brakes or power-assisted brakes which require a significant vacuum boost to operate properly. The car engine provides that boost).
While all car engine systems are important, many of them operate quite effectively with very little maintenance. The exhaust system is a good example. On the other hand, the lubrication system, which is essentially the engine oil, does need to be maintained on a regular basis or serious problems could develop so, check your car engine oil frequently.
What sort of things can the average car owner do to ensure the longevity of their car engine and thus, their car? First, follow all of the manufacturer's maintenance recommendations. If you are not experienced enough to do the maintenance yourself, you are well advised to find a trustworthy mechanic and have them do the work. Do not just skip it because if you think maintaining an automobile is expensive just wait and see how expensive it is to repair an unmaintained car.
Additionally, take care when you are operating your car. For example, your car may be sporty but that is no reason to "redline" the car engine. You might impress your friends with squealing tires but you are certainly not doing your car any favors. Remember that a car is a machine and all machines are prone to breaking down. So, maintaining your car is important but also, operate your car as if it was an expensive piece of equipment (which in most cases, it is).

Does a turbo make your car faster?
A turbo can make your car faster by increasing the amount of air that the engine can have inside the cylinders. A turbo alone will not make a car faster, you will need to adjust the amount of fuel that is injected into the engine as if you add too much air it will cause your engine to lean out and blow up.

Has anyone ever put sawdust in an auto engine?
if you mean as a last ditch method, yes, but not in the engine. if you have a slipping transmission, and the car is on its last legs anyway, you can put sawdust in the transmission fluid to help them grab so that you can make it home or to the junkyard. I've personally seen mechanics do this to sell a car and have gotten to a lot of trouble. if you put it in the engine, there's little it will do, other than clog the oil filter.
