CRD Turbo: How does it work

[MoladoGuy]

Can anyone point to a location on how the CRD and its corresponding Turbo work? Why can't a turbo like one in a CRD be placed in the 3.7L gas versions? Just curious as I am unfamiliar with turbos/diesels.

To put it in the simplest way possible...

Two fans, connected to each other, yet split. The exhaust spins one side of the fan, which spins the other, which is connected to intake. The rush of air makes more power.

I'm only 20. So I hope that was a reference to my youthfulness.

LOL.
