Re: Overview: Supercharger vs. Turbocharger

Nice comparison and nice additions. Just one thing I would add: "supercharger" works almost equally efficient on the whole engine speed interval, while turbocharger kicks in at relatively high engine speeds, just because it needs some kinetic energy to turn the turbine. So, if you need power on the low end, you need "supercharger". This is one of the "depends"
