"What's the difference between a supercharger and a tturbo ? "
i think a supercharger enriches the fuel mix after the fuel. leaves the carburetta. a turbo uses the exhaust fumes (which are at a higher temperature) following combustion to reinject an air mix to the fuel line and raise the amount of airated diesel being burned.

obviously im not a mechanic. also i dont think you get a turbo on petrol engines.....

a turbo is driven by exhaust gasses, where as a supercharger is mechanicly driven. they do much the same job, think of a turbo as twofans conected, one in the exhaust flow and one in the inlet, so as exhaust drives one fan the other drives air into the engine.

a supercharger is only on the intake side usualy driven by a belt, like an alternator

both turbo and superchargers do the same job, that is to force air into the engine, its easy to get fuel in, you just squirt in more, but it needs to be at the right air/fuel mix to burn, so for more power a turbo/supercharger forces more air in, more than the engine would normaly suck in,so both give more power, and both can be used on diesel or petrol.

The 2nd answer is more correct and you can get turbos on petrol engines.

The super charger also gives more low down power as it works constantly whereas there can be a slight delay with a turbo as it builds up to performance.

The bit where you said "I'm not a mechanic" is the only bit you got right in that reply

Superchargers work better at lower engine speeds. Turbos need higher engine speeds to operate properly in an ideal system vehicles would have both with the turbo cutting in as the supercharger reaches the end of its power band.

There are also two types of supercharger, screw and root. They are both mechanically driven but have different power delivery. A root supercharger works virtually constantly whereas a screw will boost around 2000rpm (depending how its set up).

believ the new vw diesel engine has this arrangement also the lancia delta s4 ran a super and turbo charged 2.0 engine that was able to produce in exess of 700bhp which gave it linea acelaration .the rollsroyce merlin & griffon engines used in the spitfire hurricane lancaster and others were supercharged

merlins had to be supercharged as they only have 5" stub exhausts no exhaust pipework to add a turbo to

And also because the air at altitude is thinner.
