Turbo 101
For those of us that have always had gassers(yuck) and have never messed with diesel turbos has anyone put together some pictures/diagrams/explanations of what happens with a turbo and help identifying parts and such. In the last few weeks I have seen several posts about MPG and lot of the starting points seems to be around the turbo and things that connect to it(up pipes, down pipes, IC, boots,cold side, hot side, blah blah). I realize this is basic thoughts for some but for if you have never dealt with it then you got to learn somewhere.

Actually, there is a "Turbo 101" (and 102 & 103) Garrett's website:
