How a turbo charger works

Turbos provide enhanced fuel economy and performance. A turbo is a basic "air pump" that pushes a volume of air into the engine, which increases the power output. This turbo is driven by a turbine in the exhaust system, connected by a direct shaft to an impeller in the intake system. The more exhaust that flows, the more air is pumped into the engine. In most automotive and some other applications, a wastegate is provided which opens as intake system pressure is raised to a preset level by the turbo. This device prevents an overboost from damaging the engine. As the turbo pumps and compresses air into the engine, the temperature rises in the engine. To help to reduce this temperature and keep the turbo efficient, many manufacturers have been adding intercoolers. An intercooler is a radiator for air, and is usually in front of the main radiator. Another step some turbos use to help add to the life of the unit is water-cooling. This is done by connecting the turbo to the coolant system. By doing this, the turbo operating temperature is limited to the temperature of the cooling system. This also protects the bearing assembly from excessive exhaust temperature.
