Even those who have little interest in driving will have heard about superchargers, but not many people know how they work or what benefits they can provide. That's a shame since adding a supercharger to your vehicle is one of the best modifications you can make, especially if you're interested in improving performance. Essentially, a supercharger pressurizes your vehicle's air intake to bring it above atmospheric pressure. Unlike turbochargers, which perform the same role using exhaust gases to drive a turbine, superchargers are directly connected to the engine's crankshaft via a belt or chain drive.
