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.

Turbosmart StraightGate50 vacuum wastegates are zero-offset butterfly-style units that allow enormous flow and almost linear control, and unparalleled boost control throughout the entire operating range. These high-flowing wastegates are simple to use, and packed with performance, flow, and features. The zero-offset butterfly valves are subjected to exhaust drive pressure equally on both halves of the valve, which pivots centrally, resulting in a self-balanced valve against any drive pressure. This means less work is required to act against even the highest drive pressures, and a wider tuning window is possible, no matter how the valve is actuated. The increased flow is achieved through the efficiency of a straight-through valve versus a poppet-style valve where the exhaust gas must be turned 90 degrees by the valve. Turbosmart pneumatic StraightGate 50s are available in a boost-based pSG50 6 psi or vacuum-based pSG50v 6 InHg versions. Both pneumatics take the electronic eSG50 version and simplify control via a traditional boost-based or vacuum-based actuator. Select the one you prefer. Key features: * 50mm (1.97 in.) butterfly-style zero-offset valve * 383.9 CFM/10.87m3 per minute flow * Stainless steel (630) butterfly and shaft * Stainless steel (347) main body * Stainless steel, heat-treated 431, V-band clamps * 6262 T-6 anodized aluminum bracket and actuator * Turbosmart unique locking collar ring * Base spring options from 6 psi to 42 psi * Suitable for single or twin port boost-based control * Stainless steel (N60) linkages and control arm

APR throttle body inlet system is a comprehensive upgrade to the factory charge pipe system from the intercooler outlet to the throttle body. APR replaces all the components and provide a new, larger, free flowing system that flows roughly 34 percent more than stock. This was achieved by increasing the cross-sectional area of the system and by reducing the tight radius bend directly in front of the throttle body. This system does away with two potential boost leak points thanks to their single cast design. They have upgraded the intercooler outlet hose to a multiply wire-reinforced silicone design with T-bolt clamps that resist boost leak over the stock counterpart. APR's new billet throttle body to manifold adapter provides a convenient boost and vacuum reference point which can be used to for a gauge or anything else that suits your build. Lastly the system comes complete with new throttle body and intake manifold gaskets, which are common leak points many never know to address.

By installing a blow-off valve, you can improve boost response, prolong the life of the turbo, and of course, get that cool swoosh sound! If you want to install a blow-off valve on the Can-Am X3, there is one problem … no place for it! However, this is now possible with the Agency Power blow-off valve hose kit and adjustable blow-off valve that is designed to connect to the compressor side of your turbo and the plastic charge tube. The 3-ply silicone tube allows you to install our adjustable blow off valve with a 1 in. flange. The smooth inside of the silicone tube helps eliminate any turbulence caused by OEM corrugated designs. To run a blow-off valve on the X3, you need to pull vacuum which keeps the valve shut under boost. Because there is no pressure source to tap into, a special machined fitting is included which fits on to the intake manifold. The blow-off valve is what separates this Agency Power kit from others. The CNC-machined aluminum valve features a piston and spring design to provide sharp boost response when needed. The spring has been spec'd to accommodate the needs of the Can-Am X3 turbo system. Designed as a vent to atmosphere valve, it releases the built-up charge pressure giving you a loud whoosh sound when you let off the throttle. The top portion of the valve can be turned 360 degrees allowing you to adjust the stiffness of the spring. This gives you the control of when you want the blow-off valve to release pressure. Each valve is anodized black and features the Agency Power cursive logo laser engraved on it. Key product features: * 3-ply silicone construction * Adjustable vent to atmosphere blow-off valve * Stealth silicone hose is available in black, red, or blue * Includes vacuum block Fitment: 2017-2019 Can-Am X3 Turbo, X3 X DS Turbo R, X3 X RS Turbo R 2-door and 4-door. The Can-Am X3 Turbo 120 HP requires intercooler upgrade kit—this is sold as the complete BOV and silicone hose kit.

Want to increase or decrease the boost on your variable vane (i.e. VNT/VGT) turbo diesel? Is the factory boost curve erratic and all over the place? Blown an engine with the factory boost control system? Then the Go Fast Bits V2 VNT boost controller is for you! It's common knowledge that some engines with vacuum operated ECU controlled VNT/VGT turbos suffer erratic boost behavior—to the point where turbo or engine failures can occur, even on completely stock vehicles. The V2 takes over from the factory ECU control and ensures a stable and repeatable boost curve, which your engine will thank you for! Cleverly packaged within a black anodized CNC-machined 6061 aluminium housing are two individual adjustment dials, each having a separate and unique adjustment function. The first dial sets the boost pressure, while the other is used to adjust the boost rise rate, i.e. how fast the turbo spools—meaning you can tune your boost to suit any driving conditions. Manual Boost Controllers may lack the extra features of an EBC (Electronic Boost Controller), but they get the job done! When you need simple, reliable, set-and-forget boost control, a Manual Boost Controller is hard to beat. Installation is as simple as connecting a couple of hoses, and setup is as easy as turning the adjustment until you hit your target. Once that's done, you can forget about it and drive your car. Being a rugged, mechanical device, it will never vary or fail, no matter how much abuse you can throw at it. GFB Manual Boost Controllers are available in two types: one is suited for conventional pneumatic wastegates, and the other is for use with vacuum-actuated VNT (Variable Nozzle Turbine)/VGT (Variable Geometry Turbine) turbos that are commonly used on diesel engines.

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.
