Turbo and superchargers are examples of heat turbines used to compress and pressurize intake air charges for higher power outputs. A turbocharger uses the heat energy from exhaust gases to drive its turbine. In comparison a supercharger uses the mechanical energy of the motor through the drive belt system to run its turbine. A supercharger produces parasitic power and fuel efficiency losses through this set-up. For these reasons a turbocharger has higher efficiency.

∙ 14y agoTurbocharger is a type of gas compressor. It helps intake of more air thereby increasing the power of the engine. This turbocharger has two major parts the compressor and the turbine. the turbine spins and enables the compressor draw more air.

How do you install a supercharger?
Depends on the type of supercharger and your mechanical skills... A centrifugal superchargers (procharger, Paxton, vortech) is a lot of easy (for a backyard mechanic)work, removing/relocating, trimming minor parts. They are easier than screw or positive displacement superchargers (Whipple, kenne bell, magnuson) which usually requires replacing the intake manifold. You can check the links below and read the installation instructions and see if you would be up to it.

Can Turbochargers and Superchargers be installed in the same car?
yes, they can be installed in the same car. I do believe that Volkswagen is coming out with a new car, Golf GTI Fahrenheit that is has both a turbo and supercharger in it and i think they call it "twincharging".
What are the different kinds of superchargers?
Centrifugal superchargers, Roots superchargers, and twin-screw superchargers.
Who Audi turbochargers?
Audi usually buy their turbochargers from Borg-Warner.
