supercharge
Dramatically increase power
To supercharge is to increase the power or performance of something, originally by forcing extra air into an engine's combustion chambers using a supercharger.
The term now applies broadly to anything given a dramatic boost: supercharge your morning with cold brew, a supercharged immune system.
The figurative use suggests enhancement beyond normal capacity.
