A supercharger has a pulley on the end of it that feeds off of the engines belt system. The smaller the supercharger pulley the quicker the supercharger will turn. Usually the pulley size on the supercharger will determine how much boost and hp you will see out of it.

Most supercharger systems will come in complete systems. Since you are forcing more air into the engine you will need to add more fuel and possible adjust the timing on your car. A lot of times these supercharger systems will come with larger fuel pumps, FMU or fuel injectors, and sometimes custom programming for your vehicles computer. Usually all those components are needed so you do not blow your engine from lack of fuel or tuning.

Scooter Troubles...advice needed quickly!?

A supercharger is an air pump. It is connected to your engine's belt drive system and as your engine turns faster the more air it pumps. A normal engine relies on atmospheric pressure to get air into the engine, the supercharger forces air into the engine and then the carburetor or fuel injection system compensates for this extra air with extra fuel so your engine makes more power because a more powerful explosion occurs in your cylinders. A supercharger is good. A turbocharger uses exhaust gases to spin the pump and is more expensive but usually more efficient.
