Turbochargers vs Superchargers

More power means more speed and to harness that power we need Turbocharger or Supercharger. By this power, you can turn your regular car in a high-speed Beast.

A normal person gets confused in making a choice between them because they do not know their requirements or more clearly due to lack of knowledge about how Supercharger and Turbocharger different.

So without any further add on lets right jump into it.......😎

How Turbochargers and Superchargers differ?

Both Turbochargers and Superchargers increase the density of air by compressing them and pass that air to the engine cylinder to burn more fuel and hence produce more power.

They differ from each other mainly in terms of how power is supplied to run them.

TURBOCHARGER

• They get their power from exhaust gases coming out from the exhaust valve of the engine. These gases spin a turbine which in turn spins a compressor directly connected to it. 
• Since they use hot exhaust gases so an engine with turbocharger has high efficiency.
• These gases can spin a compressor at 15000 rpm or laymen language we can say 30 times faster than a regular engine's rpm.😲😲
• It takes a little while for a Turbocharger to kick into action and make your lunge forward because it depends on the speed of the car. This is called lag in the turbocharger.
• Turbocharger becomes hot during its operation because of the hot exhaust gases coming out of the engine.
• They have a smog altering equipment which can reduce carbon emission from the car.
• These work best at high engine speed because of their dependency on exhaust gases which come at a high rate at higher speed.
• They require high maintenance because of the lubrication of parts and due to high-temperature rise.

 SUPERCHARGER

• They use some the of horsepower directly from the engine to run themselves through a belt and pulley arrangement. So they are less efficient than Turbocharger.
• Superchargers are more responsive than turbochargers because they are directly connected to one another and can also work at low speed as soon as push the gas pedal.
• Their maintenance cost is lesser than the turbochargers.

Both are used for getting high speed and for altitude vehicles. Each has its own pros and cons. If you have a regular car and want some boost, prefer superchargers because are more effective at low speed and have a low maintenance cost and for a high-speed car one should prefer turbochargers because they are best for high speed.

So before deciding which charger to use one should first decide which type of car they have for installing their chargers.

In my opinion, you should go for supercharger because they have a quick response time which great connection between your pedal and power you are getting at that moment. This will make your ride more enjoyable.
