A turbo will pick up more & better performance gains in cold temperatures. basically what the turbine does, is it forces the compressed air into the cylinder so more air means more fuel which means better performance. The colder the air the more compressed it is and the turbine can then pack even more air in the cylinder. The intercooler can also be used to cool the incoming air for more performance.


remember all turbos have lag, the time it takes the engine to to pump the air into the cylinder when u press the gas down.

Since the supercharger is mechanical there's no lag.

Turbos also save much more fuel than superchargers, becuse the engine mostly only uses the turbo when u accelerate hard. And the supercharger is always engaged, unlike the turbo.

At least that's what I think I learned when I worked my Turbo GLH, Lebaron turbo and my little knowlege of superchargers.
