Differences between Turbo and Supercharger?

Turbo is powered by the exhaust air, therefore an engine equipped with a turbo does not loose any horsepower to provide the extra pressure inside the intake manifold.
The Supercharger is driven by the fan belt of the engine. This means that the engine loses a lot of horsepower to drive the blower itself and therefore it is not a good option.
On the other hand, a turbo charger does not operate at low rpm because exhaust gases pressure is very small; while the blower is able to work at any engine speed.

Superchargers are a very good option for getting more power per cubic inch of engine.
Turbos and superchargers basically do the same thing - compress the intake charge to get more fuel into the cylinder.
Carburetors work by drawing fuel into the air drawn into the engine.
Injection works by shooting the fuel into the engine or intake air stream. There are lots of different types of injection systems out there.
