Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Both statements are correct. Turbocharging does indeed use exhaust gas to drive a turbine that compresses intake air, increasing the engine's efficiency and power. Supercharging compresses air using a mechanical connection to the engine, typically through a belt, to force more air into the combustion chamber.
