Short for turbocharger. A method of forced induction that uses exhaust gasses to turn a turbine, which in turn drives an intake pump to force more air into the engine. Available on many vehicles as a factory option or as an aftermarket kit.
The turbo option for my car was expensive, but I love the extra power!

Turbo is a setting or level on which things can be put. Putting something on "turbo" implies it is faster, better, crazier, or overall more superlative in whichever context the term is used. Also whatever else you want it to mean; people will understand.

It is similar to the phrase "putting on blast" but applicable in a wider series of contexts.

a method of smoking a joint using a plastic bottle, a hole is burnt into the bottom section of the bottle on the side using a lighter, two more holes may be burnt into the top section of the bottle if the stoner wishes to "shotgun" the turbo. the stoner or another stoner with them sucks on the usual opening of the bottle gently after the roach of a joint is placed into the lowermost hole to make smoke rise slowly into the bottle, this is known as "pulling" the turbo, a slow riser may be pulled where the only wise thing to do is "shotgun" the turbo. a slow riser may be identified by smoke that appears liquid... yes, i'm a stoner :D dedicated to you scholey, from tatters aka brett aka twattersfield
