Though many enthusiasts claim to love the sound of turbo flutter, compressor surge isn’t good for your car. Thankfully, there are multiple ways of preserving your turbocharger while keeping your turbo sounds in place.

Superchargers and turbochargers are forced induction systems. They send more air to your engine for added power and boost. While superchargers are powered by a belt off the engine, turbos use exhaust gases. There are several different types of superchargers and turbos.

Superchargers and turbos compress air, which increases the heat and reduces the density. Intercoolers are sometimes used with these forced induction systems to keep the air cool and dense for better engine efficiency. The two main kinds of intercoolers are air-to-air and air-to-water.
