Turbochargers compress air flowing into an engine using a turbine spun by exhaust gases. This allows more air and fuel in the cylinders, increasing power without increasing engine size. A turbocharger has a turbine and compressor connected by a shaft. The turbine spins the compressor to boost intake air pressure, enabling more air and fuel for combustion. While turbochargers provide more power and efficiency from a smaller engine, they also increase engine weight and require more space.
