1.5L is the size of the displacement of the motor. 1.5Litre.My 17 civic says it has 1.5L turbo. Based on my little to no experience with cars I would like to know both what the 1.5L stand for and what a turbo actually does to your car?
that article was extremely helpful thank youIf you want to delve a little deeper into turbocharging, here's a good article...

I thought you just wanted something slower and more reliableTurbo gets more combustible mixture to the engine for increased power, compared to naturally aspirated traditional carburation. It uses an exhaust driven turbine to drive a compressor to compress and get more air per volume to which an appropriate increase in fuel is added. In some applications this is critical, like high altitude aircraft. In cars operating at normal altitudes, it's really not needed, and introduces some potential issues. e.g. turbo, compressor, computer controller and delayed response because it's a feedback system. This all is a big part of why I went with 2L NA .
Literally cannot make one post with bragging about how his 2.0 has no turbo lag. Smh. You need to come for a ride in mine, the "turbo lag" is programmed in. Surprised you didn't mention the volume KNOB.Turbo gets more combustible mixture to the engine for increased power, compared to naturally aspirated traditional carburation.
