turbos take your engine exhaust and use it to spin a fan (like a mill or hydroelectric damn uses running water). This fan is connected by a shaft to another fan in the intake path which basically blows a lot of air into your engine to the point of pressurizing it which allows your cylinders to fill up faster and with more air/fuel mix for more power.

it's a bit more complicated than that but that's the basic idea. :toilet:
