This document compares and contrasts turbochargers and superchargers. It states that a turbocharger is powered by a turbine driven by the engine's exhaust gases, which forces extra air into the combustion chamber. A turbocharger is more efficient but less responsive due to throttle lag. A supercharger is driven directly by the engine via belts or gears and does not have throttle lag, but places more load on the engine. Both turbochargers and superchargers increase an engine's power output by forcing denser air into the combustion chamber. The document also briefly discusses hybrid turbochargers.
