[amolak]

Hi,
Pls can someone let me know if a V220 V-class is either Super charged or Turbo charged?
Some ppl say turbo others say super.

Which is it and what is the difference pls?

thanks

On the CDi it will be a turbo. Both are types of compressor, used to get more air into the engine, more air = more oxygen, more oxygen allows for more fuel which gives more power for the cubic capacity of the engine, also known as forced induction.

A turbo charger is driven by the exhaust gases exiting the engine, a supercharger or kompressor is belt driven from the crankshaft pulley. A turbo charger is simpler but you get what is known as lag until the pressure builds. A super charger is more instant.
