A turbo is an air compressor which is used for the forced induction in the internal combustion engine. Turbo works as a charge and its main purpose is to increase the mass of air. This is done for entering more power to the engine. There is slight difference between the turbo and the compressor. Power is given to the compressor the exhaust gases in the engine. Earlier turbo or turbocharger was known to be the turbo super charger but later it became turbo. Turbo is basically referred to an engine used for the crankshaft which is driven by the exhaust driven.

Turbo consists of small radial fan and it is driven by the energy given to engine for the exhaust flow. Turbine and compressor is the main components of turbo. The wheel of turbo rotates by the exhaust gases coming from the engine and turbine inlet receives these exhaust gases. The working of the turbo is quite similar to the working of super charger. Turbo basically improves the input efficiency. The first turbo was invented by Alfred Buchi in 1905 it was started to use in the ships in 1920.

The main application of the turbo was in the non diesel engine. Turbo is also used in the production of aircraft engines and it helped the air craft engine to gain more height. Turbo is vastly used in the production of automobile engines. the main application of the turbo is in production of racing cars and it helped the racing cars to get more speed. The invention of turbo charger has entirely changed the engine production in the automobile industry. The working principle of the turbo is very simple. The main theme of the turbo is to provide power to the engine taken from the exhaust gases and it helps the engine to move with more speed.
