Re: turbo & super charger

a turbo uses exhaust gases to drive a turbine, that has a rod connectining it to a compressor, that sucks in air an forces it into the engine at high pressure, a supercharger uses a belt driven off the crank to turn a screw/centrifugal compressor to force air into the engine.

but first, go look in the forced induction forum, that will explain everything in detail.
