Forced induction device tuning: What is the turbocharger and supercharger?

The term "forced induction device" may not be very familiar, but in the tuning world, it often refers to "turbocharger" and "supercharger".
Both devices are designed to increase power output by forcing more air into the engine.
The main difference between them is the source of power: a turbocharger uses exhaust gases, while a supercharger is driven by the engine’s rotation.
Features of the two devices

A supercharger uses the power of the engine itself, so it can send air even at low RPMs.
On the other hand, a turbocharger can produce more power at medium to high RPMs as the exhaust gas energy becomes stronger once the engine runs at higher speed.
The choice between the two devices depends on your purpose. If you want to achieve maximum performance and increase most power, a turbocharger is recommended.
On the other hand, if you want a natural feeling and quiet cabin sound similar to a stock engine, a supercharger is recommended.

HKS offers bolt-on turbochargers and supercharger upgrade kits, even for vehicles that never came with forced induction device. Significantly boost the power of your naturally aspirated engine with our performance products!
What is the tuning menu for turbocharged vehicles?

HKS offers a variety of tuning menus for turbocharged vehicles.
One of them is the “Boost Up”, which increases the power by increasing turbo pressure, as we introduced in the page "Power Editor" last time.

Replacing the turbocharger is another way to increase power.

The turbo works by spinning an internal turbine to draw in more air. However, if you only increase the pressure with a boost up, the turbocharger will reach the turbo’s own physical limit.
To draw in a lot more air, swapping for a larger turbine is necessary
HKS offers a variety of “turbochargers” and “upgrade kits” for various cars. Based on our experience with time attacks and building tuning cars so far, we have a lot of products that can meet all your needs.

Turbo tuning requires a variety of parts and can significantly increase power. However, specialized expertise is also required, so it is highly recommended to consult with a professional shop.
