An apparatus for improving efficiency of a turbocharger engine including a turbocharger configured of a turbine rotated by discharge force of exhaust gas transferred from an exhaust manifold, and a compressor rotated coaxially with the turbine to compress intake air applied to an engine is provided. The turbine includes a turbine housing and a turbine wheel. The apparatus includes an auxiliary wheel that is formed at one side of the turbine wheel and an air compressor rotated by being connected to a crankshaft of the engine to generate compressed air. A valve connects between the air compressor and an air tank to transfer the compressed air to the air tank, and transfers, when charging of the air tank is completed, the compressed air to the auxiliary wheel side to increase torque of the turbine wheel.
