Keep in mind I really don't know anything more about turbos and engines than what I read here and here
Ok so you get your air from your exhaust right? it gets compressed by the turbo, gets cooled by the innercooler, and then goes into your engine right? When the spark ignites the gas, the explosion uses up all the oxygen right, and then goes out the exhaust manafold and.... and...back into your turbo? You must be getting fresh air from somewhere and if your exhaust is going into your turbo, how does it get out your exhaust pipe? heh, i'm sure this sounds lame but those two articles just left some big holes in how it works, so if you would fill them that would be great. Thanks!
