What's the difference between manifold turbo induction and intake turbos?

Someone please explain to me the difference between manifold turbo induction and intake turbos, (the one's mounted up on intakes, or up front)? My understanding is that intake turbos pull

Default What's the difference between manifold turbo induction and intake turbos?

Someone please explain to me the difference between manifold turbo induction and intake turbos, (the one's mounted up on intakes, or up front)? My understanding is that intake turbos pull more air to push more air IN and push the emissions out faster throughout the system, and manifold turbos pull or force the emissions OUT faster to help the engine get rid of exhaust faster and pull in fresh air faster right? IDK, help!

Sorry, hope I didn't just go full retard

In the first part of his question, it sounds like hes asking what the differences are between top mount or bottom mount turbos...

In the second part of his question it sounds like...

Sorry guys, I have a hard time explaining what I mean. But yes I'm asking what the difference is between a top or bottom mount turbo. The top mount pulls air in right? and the bottom mount helps push air out ?

Hope that's more understandable.

So when you go turbo, it increases the amount of air fed to the cylinders, but that means the injectors need to be changed to bigger ones right? or does the air to fuel ratio not really change. And does that have any affect on the Z's compression ratio?

I apologize again, I'm always full of questions and Google isn't always the best place to find solid info. I like to learn

Oh I am trust me, i'm a walking book when it comes to cars. I'm just not familiar with turbos at all, thanks for the links guys! Oh and if anyone wants to know about new releases, or car news, I'm your man.

Well he mentioned something about emissions.....so maybe hes talking about the sts turbo system as opposed to a regular turbo setup. Idk maybe.
