Turbo for d16az
You've got the basic concept down. The "log" manifold is basically a short runner exhaust manifold that connects to the turbo. Air flows out of your engine, through the exhaust side of the turbo, and leaves the side of it into a downpipe and out through the exhaust. When it does that, a turbine located in the exhaust side starts to spin, which is connected by a shaft to another turbine located in the "compressor" side of the turbo. This side pulls in air, and forces it into all of the piping. When the turbo spins fast enough, the piping becomes pressurized. Hence, boost.
Radiator is used to cool the coolant that circulates through your engine, the intercooler is used to cool the air that the turbo is bringing in (compressing air uses energy which creates heat).
It's really just a bunch of piping, two turbines, and a few vacuum hoses.
