The super uses the crankshaft to power a belt or gear to turn the blades on the supercharger. The turbo uses the exhaust gases to spin a turbine that is connected to a shaft that will drive another turbine and force air into the engine.

Which automobile was the first to have rubber tires?

The super is located above the intake manifold, and the turbo is located near the front of the engine and is connected to the exhaust pipe out of the headers. Some new turbos are located at the back of the car near the trunk and the use tubing to supply the compressed air back up to the engine.

Turbochargers bolt to the exhaust manifolds, they use the exhaust gas to spin a compressor that compresses air into the engine. A supercharger is driven by the crankshaft and is bolted near the front of the motor or on top of it and uses the engines rotation to run the compressor. There are a number of different types of superchargers, where as all turbos are pretty much the same. Some examples are roots, twin screw and centrifugal (which uses the same sort of compressor as a turbocharger does)
