not as easy as that.. all tubing needs to change due to additional routing of airflow, then cooling systems also will be added (intercooler), then need to remap your car / tune it for larger horse power, and also car will be hotter overall as turbo creates alot of heat under the bonnet. Supercharger similar... basically both systems are trying to compress more air into engine cylinder to create more power.. and that creates more heat. Main difference is that Turbo uses exhaust gas to ram more air into the piston cylinder and Supercharge uses a belt driven mechanism achieve the same thing.
Lastly difference is that supercharger has more immediate response but Turbo, depending on size of turbo and also tuning. If you want maxpower, there will be a turbo lag (slower turbo response - slower pickup acceleration). If you want response, (usually uses smaller turbos - and tuned with less pressure) you will get good pick up response but no high end power.
