compressing air on a chamber, ther sudently relesing it to the burning chamber (engine) then the reaction is a powerful exploding of fuel increasing the engine release of energy, transforming it in horese power.

A turbocharger is a supercharger that is powered by exhaust gas. There are two turbines that are connected on a shaft. One is on the exhaust side and as exhaust gases build up it spins thereby spinning the turbine on the intake side forcing more air into the intake manifold. The computer adds more fuel and you get a stronger explosion thereby making more horsepower.

Any turbo fits any engine?

if you were handy with a welder you could fit any turbo to any engine, but that does not go to say that it will work, if you don't drop the compression ratio then you will get detonation and all sorts of problem, depending on what your going to turbo, you'd need a remap, different injectors, the timing would need adjusting, you cant just attach a turbo to the exhaust put the outlet/boost pipe on the manifold and expect it to work (might be a little easier for an older engine with a carb as you could run bigger jets and twiddle with the dizzy

Pretty much any engine can be equipped with a turbo, but if it's fairly average car that's also available in a turbo version the sensibe thing is to get one with the turbo already installed.
