Question:

Turbo not directly connected to cool air intake?

This kid I went to school with drives a stratus with a stock eclipse motor in it with turbo and kamp;n cool air filter. I don‘t see the turbo connected to the cool air intake? How can this be? the piping i can see connected to the intake is plastic which runs into some stainless steel piping and goes back behind the motor where i can‘t see whats behind it. Could the turbo be mounted there and not directly with the cool air intake?

Answer:

Well this kid sounds like an idiot. It's a stratus. Really? ? And a turbo is hooked to your exhaust manifold. If this engine is a 6 cylinder, you'd be able to see it pretty clearly. If it's a 4 cylinder, it will be located on the rear side almost under the engine. Either way, the boost air is put back into the engine. Wheather it is put in through the intake manifold or the intake it has to be there. BTW it is an engine. A motor is electrical. If it was a Chevy volt you could get away with it. And no matter what way you look at it, the kid is a dumbss.
The turbo works with the exhaust system and has oil going through it the hose should go to an intake source look up how turbocharger run
Hot, tired, and hungry. The story of my life.
A turbocharger relies on the exhaust gases to spin an impeller (propeller-type mechanism). The other side if the impeller is exposed to the intake air causing more air to be pushed into the engine. The intake air is forced into the intake headers after the throttle body, which is downwind of the cold air intake system. On some vehicles, it is not east to see where the turbo is located just by opening up the hood.
