The differebce between a supercharger and a turbo pretty much are:
Turbos are powered by exhaust from your car.
Superchargers use pulleys that require power from your engine to suck in air.
Turbos usually dont kick in until you reach a certain RPM because the exhaust has to build up before the turbo can use the air to force into the intake.
Superchargers give you power right off the bat since the engine is what powers it.
Therefore Superchargers equal more low end power and Turbos equal more top end power.
