Turbo and Superchargers

Turbo and superchargers are engine components that pump pressurized air into the engine via a compressor. Their function is to increase the power generated by the engine by providing it with increased air pressure inside the cylinders.

Where is the turbo located?

In the engine compartment at the outlet of the exhaust manifold.

Can you super charge and turbo charge a car at same time?

Volkswagen makes a variant of the Golf called the Golf GT which is only for sale in Europe that has what the company calls a Twincharger. The twin charger is a supercharger and a turbocharger mated to the same engine, in this case a 1.4l 4 cylinder. So, yes it is possible but to my knowledge Volkswagen is the only manufacturer who has done it.

The Nissan March was also twin charged way before the golf I believe having a 998cc engine with a turbo and supercharger mated to it.

Turbocharger vs Supercharger?

what are you asking? the difference between them is that a supercharger works through the intake side of the engine and a turbocharger works on the exhaust

no, dude. The supercharger and turbo charger both are forced induction meaning that they both work on the intake. the difference is that the supercharger is belt driven and the turbo charger is gas driven meaning that the supercharger is connected to the belt system of your engine, creating instant power as you accelerate as it is driven off the system it is boosting.

the turbo charger works off of your exhaust gas as mentioned earlier and is also affective however it takes a short while for the exhaust gas to turn the turbines thus creating something called turbo lag.

if you are asking which is better. anything under 3500 cc and 6 cylinders i would turbo charge, anything above i would supercharge. but you can do either to any engine.

Is a turbo illegal?

The answer may depend upon the jurisdiction and intended application of the turbo. Many vehicles come equipped with turbocharges, and could not be otherwise sold unless they have been authorized by the governing bodies which oversee vehicle usage in their respective jurisdictions. Turbos are also widely used in the transportation industry - the whistling sound you hear as a bus or semi drives by is the sound of the turbo spooling. Obviously, they are not illegal if originally equipped.

For automotive use in the United States, fitting an aftermarket turbo to a vehicle may be illegal if emissions or exhaust noise are altered so as to make the vehicle no longer meet the laws of the local jurisdiction.

Unfortunately, some law enforcement have been known to ticket owners of turbocharged vehicles, because the LEO does not understand the principle behind turbocharging, or the nuances of specific applications. Tickets have been given for "activating a turbo in a residential neighborhood", "unlawful hood scoop" (on a stock WRX), and "no muffler on exhaust" (on a stock SRT4).

Depends on how the ECU controls the turbo. If the ECU never lets the wastegate open, the turbo may overspin, which will damage it. On Audi/VW cars, a bad tune can cause an overlean condition, which melts the wastegate flapper door. This will cause your turbo to not boost.

What is a supercharger?

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.

How do you warm a non-turbo diesel engine?
