ok first of all this thread is OLD AND DEAD... the car accident was in 2003!!!!! LOL
but to try to answer a question... i'm not sure exactly how a turbo works, but i believe the idea is to shoot higher pressurized air into your engine, which increases potential for higher combustibility when mixed with fuel... when you hit the gas, the turbine in the turbo starts spinning, but, like anything that starts spinning, it takes it a little while to get spinning at full speed... this process of speeding up is called "spooling"... the longer your foot stays on the gas, the more the turbo "spools", and the faster it ends up spinning, and thence spitting higher pressurized air into your engine, etc. etc.
that's my uneducated perception of the process.
that being said, i think we should kill this dead thread :P
