Turbocharging and supercharging are methods of forced induction used in internal combustion engines

to increase their power output. Both techniques involve compressing the intake air before it enters the
engine's cylinders, allowing the engine to burn more fuel and thus produce more power.

Turbocharging:

Turbocharging is a forced induction method that uses a turbine-driven forced induction device
(turbocharger) to increase an engine's efficiency and power output by forcing extra air into the
combustion chamber. A turbocharger consists of two main components: a turbine and a compressor,
both mounted on a common shaft. The turbine is placed in the exhaust stream of the engine, and the
flow of exhaust gases causes it to spin. This spinning motion drives the compressor, which sucks in and
compresses the intake air before it enters the engine. The compressed air contains more oxygen,
allowing the engine to burn more fuel and produce more power. Turbocharged engines are often more
fuel-efficient because they can achieve higher power levels with smaller engine displacements, reducing
fuel consumption.
Supercharging:

Supercharging, on the other hand, uses a belt-driven compressor (supercharger) powered by the
engine's crankshaft to force air into the combustion chamber. Unlike a turbocharger, a supercharger
does not rely on exhaust gases to operate. Instead, it is mechanically driven and provides immediate
boost at lower engine speeds. By compressing the intake air, a supercharger increases the air density,
allowing the engine to burn more fuel and generate more power. Supercharged engines tend to have a
more immediate and linear power delivery compared to turbocharged engines, as there is no turbo lag
(delay in power delivery due to the time it takes for the turbocharger to spool up).
