Best Answer

Supercharging is not the same as turbocharging your engine.

A turbocharger is driven by a belt and sucks in air by 2 big rotors inside.

The air gets compressed and than cooled down in the intercooler.

The difference is that with a supercharger you do not have tubo-lag because it's direct driven by a belt and a turbo needs to spool up before it can give you some extra power.

A supercharged engine is one that has a high output screw type air compressor forcing air into the intake for improved performance.
