Re: supercharged/turbocharged AT THE SAME TIME?

the point of running both a supercharger and a turbocharger would be to get the almost instant boost from the supercharger, then once it reached around a cirtain rpm *say 4500* your rediculously oversized turbocharger is spooled, making no gap in boost time. the hardest thing to do would be to somehow either bypass or effectively shut down the supercharger so that it did not over-rev and blow to pieces.. it's been done before, it's just not all that easy
