Well, sounds like you already know how it works. They're pretty simple devices. Exhaust gas spins the turbine -> turbine shaft spins the compressor -> compressor pressurizes the intake air -> compressed intake air is denser -> the denser air results in more complete fuel combustion in the cylinder, and consequently more power, when the sparkplug fires. Easy.
