Turbochargers are more fuel efficient, as they do not put a load on the engine except when accelerating. Even then they create mush less drag than a supercharger, which uses a direct mechanical hookup instead of waste gases to produce its rotational energy. When it comes to power boost, however, superchargers have the advantage as they supply more boost at lower rpm's and can boost to higher manifold pressures than turbos.
TurboCharger... Because you can control your RPM levels to prevent boost, while on a supercharger, boost is always present. On the other hand, at full boost Superchargers are more fuel efficient.
A turbocharger would be more better because you can get more power efficiently than superchargers.AnswerYes turbos are more efficient, but a supercharger will give more low RPM torque which can help a lot for towing, especially at low speeds.
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, basically feeds more air into the cylinders to drive the pistons, so more combustion with the fuel is possible, and therefore more power. It is driven mechanically (directly from the engine) so it works straight way, opposed to a turbocharger which works from the exhaust pressure, and suffers 'turbo lag'. A supercharger is a device that makes the pressure of the fuel-air mixture in an internal combustion engine go up. A supercharger allows the engine to be more efficient.

An electric supercharger is essentially an electric motor run off a car's alternator driving a high speed fan which attempts to force more air into a car's air intake. The idea is the same as a turbocharger or supercharger, the more air and fuel forced into the combustion chamber the more power that will be developed by the engine. The only difference between a turbocharger or supercharger and the electric supercharger is that the electric supercharger is limited by how much power the car's battery and alternator can supply whereas a turbocharger and supercharger is limited by the amount of power the engine can supply which is significantly greater in comparison.
Go with a supercharger or a turbocharger.
Neither is safer. they are two different ways of achieving the same thing i.e. compressing the air being fed into an engine. A supercharger uses engine power and is less efficient, but responds quicker. A turbocharger uses exhaust gas pressure, but there is a time lag penalty.
Using a compressor in the form a turbo or supercharger to force air into an engine to make more power.
An engine which is equipped with a supercharger. A supercharger is a special kind of air compressor which forces larger than normal amounts of air into an engine, allowing for the use of more fuel, thus increasing the the horsepower output of the engine. Most cars run with just air pressure around us. A Supercharger or Turbocharger is simply a pump which raises the pressure. A Supercharger is usually driven by a belt or chain and a Turbocharger is driven by exhaust gasses.
Turbocharging. A turbocharger uses spent gas fumes for energy and drives a fan to get the fresh air into the intake to mix with the fuel that is already going into the engine. A supercharger uses belts and pullys that is constantly connected to the engine and therfore makes the car inject more fuel. A turbo charger can be adjusted wile a super is perm.
a turbocharger. unless you are comparing a turbo kit to DIY supercharging. See what is available for your car. Turbo kits are more elaborate, but if you cant find a supercharger kit, you will have an easier time buying and installing the turbo kit that making a supercharger setup yourself.
