RE: Cardboard Supercharger

There are three main styles of supercharger for automotive use:
Centrifugal turbochargersâ€”driven from exhaust gases.
Centrifugal superchargersâ€”driven directly by the engine via a belt-drive.
Positive displacement pumpsâ€”such as the Roots and the Lysholm (Whipple) blowers.

as per Wikipedia

RE: Cardboard Supercharger

that would make 2 main types.... if one is a turbo. and lets not also forget a blower but i guess that could technically be classified as a combination of the other 2 types.
