I cant get me head round how a turbo actually works how it gets ower in2 the engine!?

Power = Air and fuel burnt.

More Air + Fuel Burnt = more power.


TURBO supplies more Air. = More power if we add the fuel.

Are you serious? You've built a nice engine and then come up with such basic questions...

 

lewis just eats cookies and drinks milk all day n watchs every1 else do the work 4 him

 

The turbo is a fan,this spins and forces air into the engine,then petrol is added then the spark lights this mixture,explodes and this pushes the piston down.

The more air/petrol that is forced into the engine the more power there is.
