Dozer's argument is that a turbo is just a heat engine and that the heat is all that drives it. What really happens is the physical push of the high velocity gasses is what drives it, heat only increases the efficiency by making the gasses expand to a larger volume.

The ideal gas laws

This law has the following important consequences:
  1. If temperature and pressure are kept constant, then the volume of the gas is directly proportional to the number of molecules of gas.
  2. If the temperature and volume remain constant, then the pressure of the gas changes is directly proportional to the number of molecules of gas present.
  3. If the number of gas molecules and the temperature remain constant, then the pressure is inversely proportional to the volume.
  4. If the temperature changes and the number of gas molecules are kept constant, then either pressure or volume (or both) will change in direct proportion to the temperature.
