It's more fun to say your car got blown, though. It sounds sexier.

Yes, I think, turbo reuses the exhaust for power and the supercharger/blower forces more air into the chamber.

Thank you

not quite, supercharger systems use a belt to spin what is essentially a air compresser to force more air into the cylinder, a turbo charger uses exhaust gas to spin one side of a turbine on its way out of the car, the other side of the turbine spins and compresses clean air forcing it into the cylinders

A turbo charger uses the exaust gases to turn an impeller which forces more air into the engine.

A supercharger uses a belt to turn an impeller (of sorts) which forces more air into the engine.

The both force more air in. But a turbo doesn't "reuse" anything.

Eaton Twin Screw. 40-60% more power easily.

for more specifics Eaton tvs series (1900 or 2300) both are great and would add the 40-60% Bowtieguy said, you can get these from Magnacharger (owned by eaton) as a do it yourself kit or have them installed.
