		<description><![CDATA[A turbo charger has a finite capacity to force air into the engine. The basic principle that more air equals more power holds true (as long as there is a sufficient supply of fuel to match this). Hybrid turbos are one way to increase the capacity of your turbo, with different impellers the characteristics can [...]]]></description>

Its job is to create cleaner emissions by causing a reaction which reduces the CO2 and NO2 in the exhaust.
