The Saab Turbocharger is actually a type of supercharger (hence the name they were referred to during and before WWII, turbosupercharger), which is driven by a turbine. The turbine is driven by your Saab engine's exhaust gases. A Turbocharger is more efficient than a supercharger, which utilizes mechanical energy from the engine, so it uses some of the horsepower the engine generates to run, where a Turbocharger places no additional load on your engine. The additional horsepower generated by a supercharger far outweighs the horsepower used, but it is a less efficient system. Another shortcoming of a supercharger is that the entire engine must be able to withstand the demands the additional horsepower will place on it. The most efficient system of all would be a combination of both a Turbocharger and supercharger, which would cancel out each system's weaknesses. This is a technique referred to as twincharging. A Turbocharger can simply be used to improve fuel efficiency, or it can deliver a significant boost of power for your Saab. If you should need to replace your Saab Turbocharger, make sure you only install high quality and durable parts on your Saab, to preserve these qualities. You chose a Saab because of these same features of quality and durability, in addition to its dependable performance and classic good looks. You do not want to compromise these attributes by installing lesser quality parts on your Saab. Choose a manufacturer whose focus is also on high quality and long-lasting reliability, to enhance and maximize these qualities.
