The difference between supercharging and turbocharging is that a supercharger requires a compressor of its own while turbocharging uses the energy of exhaust gas to do the work via turbine blades running a compressor.
I'm just a poor sparky engineer, not a materials or thermo cat. Matter of fact if it hadn't been for a kindly thermo professor taking pity on me I might not have been an engineer at all.
That's another story. What ever happened to supercharging using, say, an electric compressor motor? Seems you'd have a hell of a lot less problems with something that doesn't run at the temperature of exhaust gas.
Just a question, mindya.
