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.

Summit Racing has everything you need to take your engine’s performance to the next level with a complete supercharger or turbocharger kit. If you’re looking for a complete, pre-designed, bolt-on solution, we’ve got you covered. But if you want to take the plunge into every aspect of blow off valves, wastegates, piping, intercoolers, boost controllers, and more, we can help you there, too. Summit Racing only carries quality parts from trusted brands like Precision, Garrett, Turbosmart, Turbonetics, Edelbrock, Magnuson, ProCharger, and more, so you can complete your supercharger or turbocharger build with confidence.
Summit Racing™ 50MM blow-off valves are a pressure release system that takes the load off your turbocharger when the throttle is suddenly closed, preventing damage to both the turbo and your engine. These valves are adjustable from 0 to 50 psi, making them ideal for most boosted applications. Machined from aluminum and black anodized for durability, these blow-off valves offer a quality look for any turbo setup. They include vacuum fittings, aluminum weld flange, V-band assembly, and springs.
