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.

Turbosmart Gen-V electronic anti-lag valves are perfect for motorsport and high-performance applications featuring fully electronic actuation, removing the need for the solenoids and tanks of traditional pneumatic systems. They feature a 40mm valve diameter and purpose designed actuator housing. Multiple fittings are also supplied for ease of fitment and fabrication. The fresh air valve allows incoming charged fresh air from the turbo to be diverted safely into the exhaust manifold pre-turbine wheel with throttle at low opening angles. This allows for safer spooling of the turbocharger without potentially damaging the throttle based late combustion event style anti-lag that can induce high engine stresses and break connecting rods. For engineered performance, choose Turbosmart.

An all-new addition to the Turbosmart lineup is the fresh air Gen-V (Anti-Lag Valve (ALV40) for motorsport applications. They feature a 40mm valve diameter, a purpose-designed actuator housing—and multiple fittings for ease of fitment and fabrication. The anti-lag valve allows for incoming charged fresh air from the turbo to be diverted safely into the exhaust manifold pre-turbine wheel. With the throttle at low opening angles, this allows for safer spooling of the turbocharger—without the potentially damaging throttle-based late combustion anti-lag that can induce high engine stresses and break connecting rods. The ALV is a sealed twin chamber design, with the top port being the primary control port. The spring is designed to open under vacuum conditions to allow for the air to bypass into the exhaust manifold; while the lower chamber is for twin port control methods—to control the valve irrespective of manifold pressure. The shaft seal allows for leak-proof operation.

Go Fast Bits VTAs are a performance blow-off valve solution for a wide range of foreign and domestic cars and trucks with an electronic factory diverter valve. If you want sound with your performance (or performance with your sound!), these VTAs offer just that! By combining the proven performance benefits of GFB's ground-breaking DV+ with atmosphere venting, the VTA delivers an aggressive blow-off sound, improved throttle response and boost recovery, as well as superior boost holding and reliability in extreme conditions. The VTA shares the successful DV+ design philosophy: "Keep what works, replace what doesn't." This means Go Fast Bits retained ECU control and the solenoid from the factory diverter to ensure the fastest possible response time—without the added and unnecessary cost of replacing the solenoid like some brands do. The weak part of the factory diverter has always been the plastic valve mechanism; this is the part GFB has replaced. The VTA features CNC-machined billet components that last a lifetime, and the valve operation method has been updated for better performance. The factory diverter valve can only operate in two states: open or closed. When it opens fully at low boost or during a partial throttle lift mid-corner, it causes increased lag and a noticeably non-linear boost transition. GFB pioneered the use of "pilot operation" in the DV+, which works by re-purposing the factory solenoid to control the pressure behind the piston rather than the piston itself. This allows the solenoid stroke to be much shorter, speeding up the response time and increasing the actuation force. More importantly, it allows the piston to open and close progressively in response to the amount of boost pressure present, which smooths boost transitions and reduces the lag caused by the factory diverter valve. It's this design philosophy that makes the VTA not only the best performing blow-off valve solution, but also the best value on the market. Order the VTA Performance blow-off valve model recommended for your vehicle. Key features: * TMS Technology for faster boost recovery on gear shift and during throttle modulation * Improved boost holding ability * Atmosphere venting for blow-off sound * Retains ECU control * Simple, direct bolt-on kits include everything you need to install
