The term jet engine is loosely referring to an internal combustion airbreathing jet engine. A turbo, or turbocharger is a device, usually fitted to a car or truck, to increase an engine's efficiency by forcing more air into the combustion chamber. I can see how you might have confused the two, as they are both primarily based on a turbine-driven design.
