Changed line 1 from:
The efficiency of a turbocharger is a measure of how much of the energy in the exhaust is used to generate airflow (hence power). Some amount of the energy in the exhaust gas also goes to heating the intake charge (thus decreasing power). Typical maximum efficiency is around 75%. Compressor maps typically have an “island” where this maximum efficiency is attained.

The efficiency of a turbocharger is a measure of how much of the energy in the exhaust is used to generate airflow (hence increasing power). Turbo efficiency is often confused with compressor efficiency, but turbo efficiency is more difficult to define, as it consists of both compressor efficiency and turbine efficiency.
