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.

Go Fast Bits Mach 2 upgrade kits convert blow-off valves from recirculating to atmosphere venting. To vent the Mach 2 to atmosphere, you need to ensure the piston stays closed at idle and the recirc hose is plugged. The 5930 Atmosphere Conversion Kit includes a 30mm hose plug to block off the recirc hose, a trumpet to replace the hose outlet on the Mach 2 (not necessary for functionality, but makes the sound louder!), and a firmer spring. The Mach 2 is supplied with a softer spring that's suitable for recirculation venting or cars with idle vacuum of 18inHg or less. If the piston stays closed with the existing spring in the Mach 2, there is no need to swap it out. However, if the piston hovers open at idle even with the spring pre-load maxed, the firmer spring in this kit should be installed to prevent stalling or backfiring.

Dinan intercoolers elicit impressive power gains and a wider power band, along with astounding cooling characteristics—nearly guaranteeing that "heat soak" is a thing of the past. Heat robs power, and greater power gains are achieved with a larger high performance intercooler. Dinan intercoolers provide a major increase in face area, along with an equally impressive increase in volume—substantially reducing the pressure drop to 0.8 psi, as well as providing for more efficient heat exchange and more consistent output power. The core design allows two separate cores to be working in conjunction with one another at all times. This doubling of resources is directly responsible for the huge improvement in the delta from charge air temperature to ambient temperature. "Cool down" time is also reduced, enabling your car to produce full power under varying driving conditions such as stop and go traffic. This leaves the chances of being susceptible to heat soak nearly non-existent. The systems have been engineered to be as direct a replacement as possible to the stock units, requiring only minor modifications for a clean, factory-like installation. The increased thermal efficiency provided by the Dinan intercoolers will also enhance turbocharger reliability in addition to overall power.
