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.

Lingenfelter high-capacity intercooler heat exchangers enable your modern muscle with high horsepower and low temperatures. They feature a high-capacity aluminum intercooler radiator or heat exchanger with twin fans. These kits include their TBRC-001 (Temperature-Based Relay Controller) that independently activates the relays for the twin fans and intercooler pumps. If you're a racer, you'll appreciate that the harness includes provisions for an optional manual relay override controller with time delay, so that you can circulate intercooler coolant and run the fans after shutdown to help reduce supercharger temperatures between runs. Lingenfelter high-capacity intercooler heat exchangers provide the right equation to make your impressive ride even more so: improved airflow plus reduced fluid temperatures equals improved engine cooling and increased horsepower. Features: * Innovative front to back double-pass design maximizes the fluid cooling capability * Includes two heavy-duty 11 in., 2-speed Spal temperature-controlled fans * Increased fluid capacity and cross-sectional area Benefits: * Fans only on when needed for quieter operation and increased durability * Can be used with stock or higher output intercooler pumps
