wbucket SG Both works the same theory of compressing air and squeezing them into your engine. It is only the method of which both gets its energy that is different. Supercharger get its energy from the timing belt. Turbocharger get theirs from a second turbine at the exhaust area. Read Here. What is the difference between a turbocharger and a supercharger on a car's engine?
jonathan_n80 SG best is to get supercharged n turbocharged together.. coming soon... 1.4L car with 170Bhp
speedy123 SG Supercharger Advantages: Higher response Disadvantages: Low power Turbo Advantages: More power Disadvantages: lower response If u choose Turbos use wastegates, ball-bearings & Turbine blades to reduce the turbo lag
DoggieHowser SG The original poster is right. There is a Golf GT with a twin-charged system incorporating both a supercharger and a turbocharger. The 1.6l TSI will produce abt 190bhp vs the 2.0GTI with 200bhp. http://www.channel4.com/4car/news/news-story.jsp?news_id=12865 The system - known internally as SuperTurbo Compounding, or simply SuperTurbo - is expected to make its debut in combination with a 1.4-litre FSI direct-injection petrol engine, fitted in a Golf next year. It will develop 140bhp and 184lb ft of torque in one version, and 170bhp/199lb ft in a more performance-focused model. The SuperTurbo Golf may be on display at the Frankfurt Motor Show next month. SuperTurbo 1.6 and 2.0-litre FSI models (giving 190bhp and 240bhp respectively) are rumoured to be on the way at a later date.
