Default How does it work?

Ok. Ive been looking under the hood of my 03 audi a4 and I cant figure out how the air gets from the turbo to the intake of the engine. I know how turbos work but cant figure it out. Can anyone help?

hey its a legit question for somebody wanting to learn

I remember when i was really young and just learning about turbos... i was amazed at how they worked.. if you want something to really blow your mind away.. go look at how a rotary engine works
