I know about turbochargers and superchargers and even I was confused by GSteg response. Basically for a car to run you need 2 things air and gas. Blowers provide more air by forcing compressed air into the engine. The blowers are generally driven by the engine in one of 2 ways. Turbo chargers- where the exhaust gasses are used to mechanically suck air in to the engine(think of how a windmill works). And a Supercharger where the suction is run by a belt and pully system off the engine crank. They also have what called a Twin chrger which is a combination of these two methods. hope that helps.
