Both superchargers and turbochargers deliver more air to an engine's combustion process to produce more power. Superchargers are powered mechanically by the engine, while turbochargers capture otherwise wasted exhaust heat to power their turbines. Superchargers produce boost immediately across all RPMs but are less efficient than turbochargers, which can produce boost more efficiently but experience lag at lower RPMs. In conclusion, superchargers may be better for applications requiring consistent boost levels, while turbochargers can produce boost more efficiently in greater quantities if properly tuned.

SUPERCHARGER VS TURBOCHARGER
Which is more efficient? SUPERCHARGER
OBJECTIVE The basic function of both superchargers and turbocharger is to deliver more air to an engines internal combustion process. MORE FUEL + MORE AIR BIGGER EXPLOSION GREATER HORSEPOWER
SUPERCHARGER Superchargers are powered by mechanical energy; for example, by connection an engines crankshaft. 1. Air Filter 2. Air Intake Pipe 3. Intake Manifold 4. Supercharger Housing 5. Gear Drive System 6. Rotor and Lobes 7. Discharge Port 8. Pulley 9. Drive Belt
TYPES OF SUPERCHARGER Roots Twin Screw Centrifugal
PROS & CONS Pros Roots and twin screw models have positive displacement. They can make boost immediately (even at low RPMs). Generally better throttle response. No Special Procedures or extra maintenance. Easier to install. Cons Consumes a lot of power from the engine (therefore not very efficient) Increases the strain on the engine Expensive
TURBOCHARGER Turbos are powered by otherwise wasted heat energy from engine 1. Exhaust manifold 2. Turbine section 3. Exhaust wheel 4. Shaft 5. Compressor section 6. Compressor wheel 7. Air intake manifold 8. Air intake pipe 9. Air filter 10. Turbo housing and scroll shape
TYPES OF TURBOCHARGER Single Turbo Twin Turbo Twin Scroll Turbo
Pros & Cons Pros Significant increase in horsepower. Power vs size. Better fuel economy. Higher efficiency. Cons Turbo lag. Boost threshold. Power surge. Oil requirement.
CONCLUSION Supercharger Supercharges can be a less complex, less expensive way to increase engine performance. They are usually easier to tune and maintain. Supercharges can be ideal in applications that require predictable boost at all RPMs, e.g., drag racing. Turbocharger Turbos often require more peripheral parts like oil and vacuum lines, intercoolers, custom exhaust manifolds and exhaust piping, etc.; and can require more skill to properly configure. However, a well tuned turbo system may be able to produce boost more efficiently and in greater quantity than a supercharger.
