How fast does a turbo spin?

A turbo can spin at over 280,000 RPM.
A turbocharger is an aftermarket add-on to your engine that improves efficiency and performance. Your engine’s exhaust spins a turbine, which sends the air to another turbine, compressing the air back into the engine, and giving it extra power.
The turbo’s turbine can spin at 280,000 RPM while the car is revved. For comparison, the engine only reaches around 2,000 RPM.
That’s fast!
