turbo
Forced induction system
Turbo is short for turbocharger—a device that forces extra air into an engine to boost power.
The word extends to anything enhanced for speed or intensity: turbo mode, turbo-charged growth.
As an adjective or prefix, turbo suggests amped-up performance: Let's turbo this project.
In casual speech, turbo can modify almost anything to mean faster or more powerful.
