well detonation can happen in any car. If you have ever heard a car knocking or pinging, might have a detonation prob. its caused by preignition, when the air/fuel mixture in the cylinder has been ignited by the spark plug and the smooth burning is interrupted by the unburned mixture in the combustion chamber exploding before the flame front can reach it(compression ignition). The designed combusting process stops, because of the explosion, before the optimum moment for the four-stroke cycle. The shockwave reverberates in the combustion chamber, creating a characteristic metallic "pinging" sound, and pressures increase catastrophically. And this unfixed can wear the hell out of your cylinder walls. can be caused by using fuel lower than recommended octane rating, incorrect air/fuel ratio, excessive engine heat,(which is why you cant have a turbo without an intercooler) missfire, incorrect timing, and a buch of other thing that correct tuning will prevent. but the kind of detonation in the pic cant be caused in a N/A, or supercharger. the supercharger spins at the same rate as the engine so the amount of air forced in is directly proportional. turbos have waistegates so when the turbo has the boost level that it needs the excess air is released. if the waiste gate sticks shut then the turbocharger's output flow volume exceeds the engine's volumetric flow, and as you go faster the uncontrolled volume increases untill it pops basically.
