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.

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

Go Fast Bits D-Force Diesel Electronic Boost Controllers are the perfect partner for all turbo diesel engines that use a pneumatic wastegate. With six boost presets and a timed scramble feature that can be selected on-the-fly, the D-Force can adjust your boost for all driving conditions—such as overtaking, towing, economy, racing, or even protecting the engine. As any modified turbo diesel owner knows, it's important to monitor EGT (Exhaust Gas Temperature) to avoid costly engine damage. Not only can the D-Force control your boost, but it can also display EGT! No other EBC offers the features, control, and ease of use like the D-Force. Order the D-Force with or without an EGT sensor. Additional details: D-FORCE GIVES YOU ULTIMATE CONTROL OF YOUR BOOST PRESSURE! Want to adjust boost for towing? Change it if EGT gets too high? Have multiple settings for different driving conditions? Bring boost on earlier or hold it longer? The D-Force can do all of this and more! Using a unique boost control strategy, D-Force lets you adjust the boost rise rate, peak boost, and closed-loop correction. There are six boost presets (plus an extra one dedicated to the scramble feature) that you can set up with different boost parameters for different driving conditions, and then activate them on-the-fly or at the press of a button. The unique scramble feature can be set up for a variety of purposes. It can raise or lower boost when activated with the screen button, or via the auxiliary input using a switch, button, or ECU output. For example, you could use it to lower boost pressure for safety by connecting it to an existing warning light, or instantly access high boost by pressing a button or flipping a switch. * The D-Force can also display Exhaust Gas Temperature and has a user-adjustable warning. This feature requires the EGT plug-in module, which includes a stainless steel EGT probe and weld-on exhaust bung, along with the module to connect it to the D-Force wiring loom. The D-Force kit is available with or without the EGT plug-in module, and the module is also available separately. * The controller interface is easy to use with touch-buttons and one-touch menu navigation. The boost pressure units can be displayed in psi, bar, kPa—and the peak recall feature lets you see your peak boost after each boost event. * 50 psi capability! * Closed-loop boost control strategy—for the fastest possible boost rise rate and minimum drop off at high RPM, the adjustable closed-loop logic helps prevent boost variations that can occur in different gears, RPM ranges, and atmospheric conditions. * Remote input trigger: Connect the remote input wire to a switch, button, warning light or ECU output to change boost presets or activate scramble boost. * Over-boost warning/cut: User adjustable warning to indicate if the boost pressure is too high and to cut the solenoid to lower boost and protect the engine. * Touch screen interface with simple menu navigation: Capacitive touch screen and single-touch menu navigation makes setup exceptionally easy. Scrolling text also means you always know where you are in the menu. * Choose your screen color: You can set the button illumination to any one of six different colors to match your car's dash.
