What is difference between supercharging and turbocharging?
Are there any disadvantages to using either of them?
One disadvantage of supercharging is that it can be parasitic, which means that it requires engine power to spin the supercharger, thereby reducing overall efficiency. On the other hand, turbocharging can suffer from turbo lag, which is a delay in power delivery due to the time it takes for the exhaust gases to spin the turbine and power the compressor. Additionally, both can potentially increase engine wear and tear.
