Default RE: Hrm ..

what you have quoted is often used to describe nitrous oxide as a power adder, but it in not really like a supercharger or turbocharger in theory. adding nitrous brings extra oxygen into the mix and if you add the extra fuel to go with it, you get more power as a result when the combustion temps cause the nitrous to break down and release the oxygen so the extra fuel can be burned. a turbo or supercharger increases the pressure of the air in the intake manifold making it more dense and therefore getting more oxygen into the cylinders for combustion of more fuel and therefore more power. the boost of a turbo or supercharger is directly related to engine rpm, higher rpm= more boost up until the boost reaches a maximum value based on the impeller design efficiency. with nitrous, the effect is not dependent on engine rpm, just on how much nitrous and fuel is allowed to flow through the orifices controlling them so it is more instantaneous than either a turbo or supercharger. hope this helps explain the differences.
