Best Answer

They both can make insane amounts of power, but I would say turbo because...

1. The boost on turbo systems can easily be adjusted

2. There are way more sizes avail. to best match the motor

3. Are more economical MPG due to the fact they are load based and don't cause a parasitic load on the motor when not in use/needed.

4. Can be easier to fit in the engine bay vs. screw/roots superchargers.

5. more durable, belt need replacing/break (more of with higher boost), while a turbo will last 100k+ if not abused( made to surge/overspeed/poor oiling).

6. more low end boost than a centrifugal SC.

7. can even get electronics to limit boost per gear to maximize, performance/traction.

What is better between supercharge and turbochage?

Better or worse is based on the needed application. However there is very few advantages of a turbo over a supercharger. The only advantage of a turbo is if you are racing the engine over distance in which max boost and max power is required for a sustained amount of time. The heat a turbo creates causes problems to everything under the hood such as wiring, hoses ect... a turbo and a supercharger are totally different applications. a supercharger forces air into the intake with the fuel to make it burn better. a turbocharger works on the exhaust side. a supercharger will make an engine reach higher rpms faster. a turbo will make it pull better
