I’m trying to add useful stuff to the site for people who know little to nothing about topics. I felt this would be good accurate information to contribute regarding Turbochargers.

Note there is a “Next Page” tab at the bottom

Combustion:

  1. Suck
  2. Squeeze
  3. Bang
  4. Blow

The bigger the suck and the squeeze the better the bang and you definitely get more blow…

Wait… wait… I think he is alluding to something here… almost got it…

turbo runs off exhaust and supercharger runs off motor. but technically a turbo is a supercharger

so if I “BOOST” air flow I get more power? Nice link BTW
