Comparing Superchargers and Turbochargers
- A key advantage of superchargers over turbochargers is their ability to provide instant power delivery, without the need to wait for the compressor to spin up.
- Turbochargers sometimes suffer from 'turbo lag', which is the delay in power delivery due to the time it takes for the turbine to reach optimal speed.
- A notable characteristic of superchargers is their ability to provide constant power delivery across the entire rev range, without the lag or delay associated with turbochargers.
