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.

Set your Viper apart from the rest with a NOVI-2000 Viper supercharger kit from Paxton. The heart of these kits is the legendary NOVI-2000 gear-driven centrifugal supercharger, which combines nearly silent operation with unmatched dependability. They feature an integrated air-to-water, dual-pass charge cooler, a stand-alone timing control computer, a high-flow race bypass valve for surge-free compressor operation, and heat-resistant silicon duct connecting sleeves with premium-quality stainless steel clamps. A complete fuel system upgrade includes dual high-flow fuel pumps, a fuel control unit, fuel lines, and a wiring harness for safe, reliable operation. The included oil feed and oil drain assemblies deliver the best possible lubrication and cooling for the supercharger, even under sustained boost conditions. The supercharger drive systems include a tensioner and all of the necessary belts and pulleys, along with OEM-type cast aluminum mounting bracketry that securely mounts the units for a "factory-installed" appearance and rigid attachment. As if all of this isn't enough, the kits are compatible with factory OBD II engine management systems, are 50-state emissions legal, and include a reusable high-flow air filter. It's easy to see why Paxton has been a supercharging tradition for more than four decades.

APR DTR8868 turbocharger systems are direct replacements for the EA839 3.0L turbo engine. These upgrades include matching software for various vehicles and mods, providing up to 620 hp (571 AWHP) and 422 lbs.-ft. of torque (572 AWT), depending on vehicle platform and fueling, all while keeping emissions components unmodified. The software supports premium pump fuel grades, race fuel grades, and even ethanol on the S4, S5, and SQ5 platforms with fueling upgrades. For dedicated race cars, the turbocharger is designed with plenty of headroom to go even further on your own. The APR Stage 3 software is designed to avoid hard-spiking in the lower RPM band or running on the edge of what the factory rods and pistons should handle. Particular attention was paid toward component protections for exhaust gas temperature (EGT), back pressure safety (EMAP), turbocharger discharge temperatures, and fueling system capabilities. As rising exhaust gas temperatures require more fuel, the system will lower lambda to cool EGT without taxing the injection system with excessive on-times. Secondary protections will limit output for safety. The HPFP software helps increase headroom without over-driving the pressure to the injection system. The need for limiting power under extreme prolonged use (like tracking the vehicle), is greatly reduced, and the optional upgraded HPFP dramatically increases ethanol output. Note: Specific software is required to use this system, and an upgrade from lower stage systems is included for various vehicles. Software compatibility must be checked before purchase as the software installs to your vehicle's factory ECU. Currently, software can only be installed by an authorized APR dealer. Software is available in two formats: for use with the stock HPFP or for use with the APR HPFP. Additional APR DTR8868 turbocharger systems features, items, and specifications include: * Does not require a core and no additional downtime * Designed to bolt to factory location with factory-style connections * German dual ceramic ball bearing center section eliminates failure-prone journal bearing design * Smooth and reliable operation with a better transient response * Upgraded compressor cover with matching A/R * Larger aircraft-grade, 6061 billet aluminum 88mm compressor wheel * Turbine housing cast with high-temperature 310 stainless steel * Turbine A/R matched to nickel-based super-alloy K418 high-flow 54mm turbine wheel * Each rotating group is VSR (vibration sort rig) balanced for reliable operation * Includes complete turbocharger with a calibrated wastegate actuator and diverter valve * All necessary single-install hardware, gaskets, and clamps * Intake system adapter provides maximum flow-through as optional upgrade for factory intake * ECU software upgrade designed for factory engine and remains emissions-compliant * Supports 91, 93, 100, and 104 AKII, and E60-E85 in North America * Supports 95, 98, 104, 108 RON, and E60-E85 everywhere else * Integrated DV (Diverter Valve) port with OEM DV included
