Are superchargers hard to install?

Turbochargers and superchargers are a great way to obtain more power from your car's engine. Superchargers provide a significant raw power advantage over turbochargers and are easy to install, but they're expensive and increasingly less common than turbochargers.

Can you just bolt on a supercharger?

Supercharging can be a straight bolt-on installation, and it works well with stock heads, cams and pistons. What's more, it delivers better low speed throttle response and torque than a naturally aspirated engine with a big carburetor, big valves, high compression and "hot" cam.

Does a supercharger reduce engine life?

Assuming a properly tuned system, proper oil change and engine maintenance, and similar driving, supercharging generally will not shorten the life of an engine, just as is the case with OEM turbocharging (with proper cooldown for turbochargers. A cool down period after driving is not necessary with supercharging).

Can I install a supercharger on my car?

A supercharger must be available for your specific vehicle. A fit kit must be available for your specific vehicle. A program for the Engine Control Module must be available for your specific vehicle.

Do superchargers ruin engines?

Assuming a properly tuned system, proper oil change and engine maintenance, and similar driving, supercharging generally will not shorten the life of an engine, just as is the case with OEM turbocharging.
