Both are essentially a fan that forces air inside the engine, the more air you can fit in an engine the more power you can make

The only difference between the two is how the fan is powered, in a turbocharger it’s powered by a turbine (which is where you get the turbo part) that runs off the exhaust, a supercharger is spun directly by the engine
