How do turbochargers and superchargers improve engine performance?

 

Turbochargers and superchargers both improve engine performance by increasing the amount of air that can be forced into the engine's combustion chamber. This allows for more fuel to be burned, resulting in increased power and torque output.

Turbochargers work by using the exhaust gases from the engine to spin a turbine, which in turn drives a compressor that forces more air into the intake manifold. This increases the engine's efficiency and power output.

Superchargers, on the other hand, are belt-driven and use a compressor to force air into the intake manifold. This also increases the amount of air available for combustion, resulting in improved engine performance.

In both cases, the increased air intake allows for more fuel to be burned, resulting in increased power and torque output. This is why turbochargers and superchargers are commonly used in high-performance and racing engines.
