red is the exhaust, the exhaust pressure spins the propellar, turning a shaft (shaft play, not good) spinning the compressor blades, that suck cold air, from outside and forcing it into your throttle body, or intercooler.

Shit, did you actually do a search for "turbo" at www.howstuffworks.com? There's a detailed picture on page three of the plumbing of the turbo charger in the car, with descriptions of all the components, including the intercooler.
Put a little effort into it.
