What are the differences between a supercharged engine and a turbocharged engine?

[LeFinley]

Here are the specific differences between a supercharged engine and a turbocharged engine: 1. Structure: The supercharger has a simpler structure compared to the turbocharger. The higher the engine speed, the greater the boost pressure, and there is no turbo lag phenomenon that occurs with turbocharging. The turbocharger has a more complex structure, resulting in a higher failure rate compared to the supercharger. 2. Fuel consumption: The supercharger is driven by a belt, which consumes engine power, so it is not as fuel-efficient as the turbocharger. The turbocharger provides stronger boost pressure, allowing even small-displacement engines to have powerful performance while also being more fuel-efficient.
