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.

Magnuson supercharger kits make power you can live with! Magnuson's powertrain integration technology offers you the ability to have big horsepower and drivability in the same supercharger. This technology recalibrates the engine and transmission control programs to work with the altered induction path and boost pressure of the supercharger. And that produces a seamless and consistent delivery of power over the entire rpm range--not just the high end! For you, that means Magnuson superchargers will boost your power output, and yet run like their factory installed units. Whether you're driving a Corvette or a Cadillac, a Silverado or a Hummer, or a Camaro or a Mustang, Magnuson supercharger kits deliver maximum performance!

Turbosmart Gen-V HP (high-pressure) comp-gate external wastegates feature a new unique appearance, Gen-V architecture, more options, and more boost. Upgrades include their modularity, improved thermal management, water cooling options, and even more gate flow than ever before. Turbosmart answered the needs of the diesel tuning community years ago with their HP wastegate range. These Gen-V units take all the advances in design and entineering—such as water cooling, rotating housing, industry-leading gate flow, and 1/8 NPT reference ports—and pushes the results to new heights. The new Gen-V HP springs options alone mean as much as 50 psi of base spring pressure. Included in the box is the new Gen-V HP mechanical wastegate with 35 psi worth of pre-loaded springs (10 psi inner and 25 psi outer), all inlet and outlet weld flanges, valve seat and clamps, and basic reference port fittings needed to get set up and running. These wastegates are available in different external relief diameters.
