I’ve been a car guy for quite some time but I’m a bit embarrassed that idrk how they exactly work. All that ik is that they give you boost and that somehow makes you faster 🤦‍♂️

Turbos:

Your engine is powered by tiny explosions and the smoke from those explosions gets blown out the engine and is called exhaust. On the way out it pushes past a fan which is spun by the exhaust. That fan is attached to another fan which is designed to suck air into the engine.

With more air in the engine ( and you can also put more fuel) the tiny explosions are more bigger making more powah babeh
