The supercharger uses a belt to drive a compressor that feeds more air to the engine such that more fuel can be ignited; which produces more power. This does have a parasitic drag on the engine, negating some of the gain in power. The turbocharger uses otherwise wasted exhaust gas heat and pressure energy to spin a compressor. This does not have the same parasitic loss as the supercharger and therefore yields a higher efficiency.

It cools the air so more will fit in the engine. More air means more fuel can be burnt to make more power.


What is difference between turbo non turbo engine?

As an engine turns it sucks air in, which draws fuel with it. In a turbo engine a fan (turbocharger) forces more air into the engine, which draws fuel with it. The more fuel and air that goes into the engine the more power is produced. A turbocharged engine can produce perhaps double the power that a non turbocharged engine produces.
