- dingaling 9y agoTechnically the article is correct, turbocharging is a form of supercharging. Supercharger is an overloaded word, it refers both to the principle of forced induction as well as a particular mechanical method of achieving that. Oddly this isn't just a problems with English, German has the same overloading of 'kompressor'. Turbocharging was originally called turbosupercharging when developed by GE.
