The exhaust gases go into the turbine housing (12) and the exhaust gases push the blades of the turbine wheel (6). This
causes the turbine wheel and the compressor wheel to turn at a rate up to 70,000 rpm.
Clean air from the air cleaners is pulled through the compressor housing air inlet (4) by the rotation of the compressor wheel
(5). The action of the compressor wheel blades causes a compression of the inlet air. This compression gives the engine
more power. The engine gets more power because the engine is able to burn more air and more fuel during combustion.
The maximum rpm of the turbocharger is controlled by the following items:
