WEIAND SUPERCHARGER TECHNICAL INFORMATION . SUPERCHARGER Basics There are currently three basic types of superchargers being Roots blowers have been used on GMC diesel engines for sold in the performance market today: the Roots type (all many years. In the late 1950s, Phil WEIAND was in the WEIAND Superchargers are Roots blowers), centrifugal, and forefront of the development and adaptation of these super- screw type.
