: we should call it turbocharger and supercharger
: turbocharger is powered by the exhaust gas
: the advantage is more efficiency by powered from the exhaust gas,disadvantage is "turbo tag"
: bcoz it needs enough amount of exhaust gas to drive it or it would give a resistance to the exhaust system
: supercharger is driven by the belt to the engine
: it accerate the vehicle more evenly
: and it is usually used on the larger vehicle
Ok...I have read basically all of these threads, and i am convinced that I need one of these...But just two more questions. Are these things safe? I mean is there a posiblity that they might break and hurt my engine, or any other part of my car? and no. 2 How much horsepower can one expect to gain from one of these?
