Bolted to the floor?
Am i right in thinking an afterburner is just adding fuel after the turbo? (i.e the section that glows red)

^^^ yes same with real jets, just has an injector at the end to make lots of flames which makes lots of thrust.

the air goes in then fuel is added and spark plugs ignited the air/fuel mixture which goes back into the turbo and spins it sucking in more air, process is repeated.
