What is a supercharger and how does it work?
A supercharger is a belt-driven air compressor that forces more air into your engine’s intake. With more oxygen available, the engine can burn more fuel, producing more power and torque instantly. Unlike a turbocharger, a supercharger delivers boost with no lag since it’s powered directly by the engine.
