Noob questions, yes I searched!
Ok I know the difference between turbo, swap, supercharge all that jazz, but I think I am missing out on a lot of terminology.

What do people mean by saying they are boosted? Is that turbo?

And one thing I don't understand anything about is a car being "blown." I probably DO know what it is but I don't knwo the terminology.

Sorry again for the noobish questions, search just keeps returning stuff about like blown shocks....

boosting IS turbo
blown is supercharged

boosted can also mean supercharged.

Both, turbo and SC can blow PSI and boost PSI.

Either way is good

Blown could also mean someone has a blower on their car.
