Despite the Turbo-Lag, Turbochargers are preferred to Superchargers by the Manufacturers

With the recent innovations since five decades in the automotive industry the most prominent and imprinting ones are the turbosuperchargers (or commonly called as turbochargers or turbos) and the superchargers. They are air compressors that work on the principle of forced induction that force the compressed air into the combustion chamber of the IC engine via the intake manifold and proportionately more fuel is injected which is going to result in the increment of the power and torque of the engine without increasing the displacement. This helps smaller engines to make more power and torque than they were making when aspirating naturally. This paper is an attempt to bring out the facts and theories that why turbochargers are used more than superchargers despite the turbo lag and their complex installation.
