a supercharger would be good, but its wastes some energy. that, and you'll find it cheaper and easier for a turbo system.

In simple terms a turbo shoves air down the engines throat, creating more power.

You are talking about the BLOW OFF VALVE which allows extra pressurized air to escape when shifting to prevent damage to the engine and turbo system. A turbo is a forced air induction system. It forces more air into a cylinder which means that more fuel get's added, and then when you have more air and more fuel, you get a larger explotion which powers the engine much more. With a Turbo-charged engine the power to weight ration increases. It forces air into the engine by the exhaust, which spins a turbine inside the turbo that spins an air pump which then pushes air into the engine, and so on. With a turbo-charger, your car will take in 50% more oxygen then it used to. Problem is, your Gas Mileage is going to suck.........
