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.
For even more helpful information about the difference between superchargers and turbochargers, check out this helpful article at OnAllCylinders.com.

Stack boost controllers offer an unparalleled feature set, redefining what the performance instrument should be. In addition to the standard "hi/lo" mode, "Boost by rpm" and "Boost by Gear" give you absolute control of your power delivery. Initial setup is incredibly simple using an intuitive menu and an evolutionary gear capture process. Configurable warnings with peak recall and boost shutdown are standard safety features designed to protect your engine. A scalable display range allows you to tailor resolution to show only the needed range for your application. Stack Gauges' Pro Control output system is equipped to allow electric devices to be controlled at a user-defined boost pressure (such as water/methanol injection, nitrous, etc.), as well as Pro Control input to default to wastegate spring pressure, should the need arise. You can display pressure in psi, BAR, or kPa—and easily data log and display with or without real-time barometric compensation. A direct-plug wiring harness is included for ease of installation. Choose the face color you prefer.

The G-Force III is the latest iteration of Go Fast Bits' feature-packed electronic boost controller—now with the ability to monitor and display your engine's air/fuel ratio in either Lambda or AFR. By connecting the analog output of most wideband oxygen controllers (i.e. Innovate LC-2, AEM UEGO etc.; sold separately) to the G-Force III's auxiliary input, you can toggle between boost pressure and air/fuel ratio display. This saves you from having to install a separate AFR gauge in your car, and it can also save your engine! A lean mixture at high boost can destroy an engine in seconds, and a stand-alone AFR gauge is next to useless when accelerating hard, as your concentration is likely to be on the road in front of you. The G-Force III safeguards your engine against a lean mixture by lowering boost to the minimum setting, and visibly warning you by flashing the display lighting. Whether your car is a daily driver or an all-out track weapon, the G-Force III has the features to tailor boost to suit your needs. Set up to six boost presets and select on the fly; use the scramble feature for overtaking, launching, towing, or protecting the engine—and you can even customize the lighting color to suit your interior! No other EBC on the market offers the features, control, ease of use, and value for money like the G-Force III! Additional G-Force III electronic boost controller details: * For boost pressures up to 50 psi (3.45 bar, 345 KPA) * Adjust peak boost, rise rate, and closed loop correction. * Display boost pressure in PSI, BAR, or KPA * 6 Boost presets, individually programmable * Unique "scramble" feature with remote switching * Peak boost recall * Air/fuel ratio display in AFR or Lambda (when connected to a wideband oxygen controller) * Separately adjustable overboost and lean mixture warning/boost cut * Touch buttons with user selectable illumination colors * Auxiliary input to switch boost presets or activate scramble * 1/2 DIN size casing, fits standard stereo slot * Supplied with MAC 3-port solenoid
