Or does the turbo simply make >the pump run faster ? -------------------- The turbo boost fills the cylinder (at TDC) with more air (fuel air mixture), or if you will is pre compressed ("boosted"). The **RATIO** that volume (as explained above TDC [Top Dead Center/piston head at top] to BDC [Bottom Dead Center/piston head at bottom] is compressed remains the same as if the cylinder had 'only' a normal atmosphere's worth of fuel/air mix. To restate: the turbo stuffs more air/fuel mixture into an uncompressed (by its piston) cylinder, but the *ratio* of the compression from largest to smallest cylinder volume - by the piston - remains the same.
