Superchargers and turbochargers are an incredibly popular way to make gobs of power and maximize the efficiency of your vehicle—and Summit Racing Equipment has the best selection around! Let’s break down the main differences of each, so you can figure out what route to take on your own ride!
Superchargers are driven directly by your engine. They are attached to your crankshaft by a belt, so as engine speed increases, so does your supercharger speed. You can increase or decrease the speed of the supercharger by changing the size of the pulleys, allowing you to fine-tune your boost to the desired level. Because of their relationship to engine speed, superchargers commonly provide a power curve that increases with engine rpm, delivering boost with rapid response.
There are two main styles of superchargers: Roots and centrifugal. Roots-style superchargers use a pair of rotors within a housing to force air at higher than atmospheric pressure into your engines. The rotors can have a varying number of lobes and may be twisted, affecting how the air flows through the supercharger. Centrifugal style superchargers utilize a gearbox to spin a shaft, which is connected to compressor wheel, drawing in ambient air and compressing it on its way to the engine.
Turbochargers utilize the exhaust gases produced by your engine to spin a turbine wheel located inside the turbocharger housing, which is connected to a compressor wheel by a shaft. As the two wheels turn, ambient air is sucked into the turbocharger’s compressor inlet and pushed into the engine. That air charge is often passed through an intercooler to increase its density.
Choosing the right turbocharger kit for your vehicle can be daunting, with factors like tubing size, A/R ratio, and multiple other factors to consider. However, Summit Racing makes it easy by offering turbocharger kits custom-designed for a wide range of vehicles, so you can get all the benefits without major engineering work.

APR boost hose systems deliver the ultimate, direct-replacement upgrade for your factory hoses. Optimized to minimize boost leaks, reduce turbulence and other performance degradations, the 4-ply silicone provides thickness and strength characteristics necessary to support boost levels far beyond the engine's capabilities. The hoses are designed with APR's EZ-Flow stepped design for increased airflow—and they added a fluorosilicone internal lining to ensure the hoses do not rapidly deteriorate over time when exposed to oil and gasoline from PCV and EVAP systems. Stainless steel Clampco T-bolt clamps prevent the hoses from coming loose under heavy pressure; and under high temperatures, the silicone adheres to its mating surface, further minimizing leaks and hose slippage. APR boost hose systems are a great solution that directly replaces your factory rubber hoses for maximum performance, longevity, and insurance against power-robbing boost leaks. Order the kit recommended for your vehicle.

APR throttle body inlet system is a comprehensive upgrade to the factory charge pipe system from the intercooler outlet to the throttle body. APR replaces all the components and provide a new, larger, free flowing system that flows roughly 34 percent more than stock. This was achieved by increasing the cross-sectional area of the system and by reducing the tight radius bend directly in front of the throttle body. This system does away with two potential boost leak points thanks to their single cast design. They have upgraded the intercooler outlet hose to a multiply wire-reinforced silicone design with T-bolt clamps that resist boost leak over the stock counterpart. APR's new billet throttle body to manifold adapter provides a convenient boost and vacuum reference point which can be used to for a gauge or anything else that suits your build. Lastly the system comes complete with new throttle body and intake manifold gaskets, which are common leak points many never know to address.

APR DTR6054 turbocharger systems are direct replacements for the EA888 Gen 3 engine. These upgrades include matching software for various vehicles and mods, providing up to 491 hp and 425 lbs.-ft. of torque, depending on vehicle platform and fueling, all while keeping emissions components unmodified. The software supports premium pump fuel grades, race fuel grades, and even ethanol on the Golf R, S3, and TT S platform with fueling upgrades. For dedicated race cars the turbocharger is designed with plenty of headroom to go even further on your own! Designed and developed from the ground up by APR, DTR6054 turbochargers do not require a core and there's no additional downtime. They are built using an aluminum anti-surge compressor cover with appropriate A/R matched to a larger aircraft-grade, 6061 billet aluminum 60mm compressor wheel, a turbine housing cast with high-temperature 310 stainless steel to take the heat and abuse seen on a road course, and a nickel-based superalloy K418 high-flow 54mm turbine wheel. A German dual ceramic ball bearing center section provides smooth and reliable operation with a better transient response, eliminating the factory failure-prone journal bearing design. Each kit includes the complete turbocharger with compressor inlet pipe, compressor outlet hose, T-bolt clamps, gaskets, O-rings, exhaust ring, exhaust V-band, exhaust manifold gasket, studs, bolts, and washers, oil and coolant line O-rings, and APR's ECU upgrades for select vehicles. The upgrade uses your factory electronic wastegate and diverter valve, and connects to your factory exhaust, intake, turbo outlet pipe, and oil and coolant lines. Tested at various road courses, APR's DTR6054 turbocharger systems do not spike torque hard or run on the edge of what the factory rods and pistons have been known to handle, making them as safe on the stock engine as possible for these power levels. Additional features: * Over 30 percent compressor flow compared to the factory turbocharger * Various software levels depending on fueling modifications, including stock fueling * Supports 91, 93, 100, and 104 AKI in all configurations * Supports E60-E85 with fueling upgrades (Golf R/S3/TT S platform only) * VSR balanced turbocharger center housing rotating assembly (CHRA) for reliable operation * Oversized cast turbo inlet pipe connects directly to factory or upgraded intake system * Machined turbocharger speed sensor port with included billet block-off plug * Silicone discharge hose with APR EZ-flow stepped lips included (no turbo muffler) * Integrated diverter valve (DV) port * Available in turbo kit only, turbo kit with low- and high-pressure fuel pump, or turbo kit with low- and high-pressure fuel pump and multi-port injection
