Is a boost something different from having a "normal" turbo application or is it normal turbo?
I empty my cup and I'm willing to learn....

basically it is the compressed air the turbo charger generates.
remember one side of the turbocharger is essentially a compressor which sucks in air compresses it and then it goes usually to the intercooler then into the engine. It is measured commony in PSI (pound per square inch)

this is when the turbo comes up to speed for it to build boost and operate efficiently.
a certain amount of exhaust gas is required for turbo to begin spooling up and compress air / build boost.
