Websters helps us a lot on the definition.

tur⋅bo⋅charg⋅er  /ˈtɜrboʊˌtʃɑrdʒər/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [tur-boh-chahr-jer] Show IPA
–noun a supercharger that is driven by a turbine turned by exhaust gases from the engine.

Also called turbo.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Origin:
1930–35; turbo- + (super)charger




So I think they are all superchargers, just a subset of them are driven by exhaust gasses.
I guess I do have a "win-win" deal kissing the pretty girl, I guess I didn't think it thru



...And I say 'puh tay dur'

WHOA! Cool pic! Is that photoshop???? Hey that's REAL!!!
