Using a compressor in the form a turbo or supercharger to force air into an engine to make more power.
A turbocharger is driven by the exhaust from the engine. A supercharger is belt driven off the engine.
A "Turbocharger" is driven by exhaust gas. A "Supercharger" is driven mechanically by the engine.
A turbocharger is not typically more powerful than a supercharger but is able to offer a boost at lower speeds. The turbocharger is powered by engine exhaust while the supercharger uses power from the drive belt.
A supercharger is belt driven and a turbocharger is exhaust driven

now a days superchargers are replaced by the turbocharger. supercharger is taking drive from engine while turbocharger taking drive from exhaust gases.
Go with a supercharger or a turbocharger.
Yes. If the engine is built to handle enough boost. Volkswagen makes a production car with a twincharger (supercharger and turbocharger). The supercharger helps cancel out the turbo lag at low rpms
a supercharger is run by belt,turbocharger is run by ex. gases.supercharger is better ........actually it depends on the motor and what kind of turbo/supercharger you put on it,so neither is technically better than the other
Simply put, a turbocharger uses the exhaust to spin a turbine thus compressing air which is then forced into the intake. A supercharger is driven off the engine crankshaft and forces air into the intake. They both do the same thing but the turbocharger uses the exhaust gases to compress air and the supercharger uses the engine's motion.
You can but its very tricky unless you are a mechanic!
One definition of an engine blower is a supercharger or turbocharger
