@shortyjk95 The exhaust fumes make the turbo spin. When you accelerate, there's more exhaustion and therefore the turbo spins faster. The more RPM's, the more air compression. That's why there's the so called turbo delay too.

how does the turbo speed up when you accelerate to keep the air going in compressed

aka what makes the turbo speed up as you hit the gas pedal... like in desiel trucks when you hear the turbo wine when they accelerate.. what causes the turbo to speed up (rpms)
