[QUOTE="i8u, post: 288861, member: 3438"] A supercharger is driven by a belt. Takes a little power to drive it, but in return you get a lot of power. A turbo is drivin by the exhaust so it doesn't take any power away to make power. Centrufugal superchargers and turbos are true commpressors so it is easy to crank up the boost. Then there is the positive displacement supercharger (eaton/ kennbell) Is is actually a positive displacement pump meaning what ever goes in is what comes out. Centrafugal superchargers and turbos both have to spin fast enough to actually compress the air. Positive displacement blowers can see full boost at much lower rpms which is why the have better low end responce and are often said to be more fun for street driving. Compressors on the other hand offer tons of torque and gob loads of power at high rpm's that is unimaginable with a positive displacement supercharger. A turbo kinda looks like two centrafugal blowers combined by a shaft. One part of the turbo is part of the exhaust manifold. When the exhaust gasses spin the impellor...it turns the shaft which turns the other impellor. The impellor on the intake side compresses the air. [/QUOTE]
