snip of very informative post

The turbine section drives the compressor, and extracts about 75%
of the energy from the gas flow in doing it. The remaining velocity
and pressure is what drives the engine forward. If I was to say where
the pressure is concentrated, I'd have to say it's against the
compressor disks.

I would guess the turbine wheel.

You didn't mention "balance air".
The air bled from the compressor, & fed to the front of the turbine
wheel, to balance the loads.
