You can't add a supercharger and a turbo to an eclipse engine. NOS and a turbo will work at the same time. Some people use a small shot of nitrous to spool up their turbo quicker. Larger cars such as the supra or the Skyline will use a supercharger for the low end that will phase out and the turbo will take over. Eclipses however are to small. A turbo is more practical for an eclipse because it can work over a larger power band than a turbo charger. It's all a matter of opinion though, some people would rather supercharge the car so you don't have to deal with turbo lag. So to answer your question. No you can't use all 3. You can however use a turbo and nitrous OR a supercharger and nitrous.

i must ask why on earth would want to do this? if he has a turbo DSM already, just upgrade the turbo. if he has a non turbo then he will pop that motor like a cherry on prom night.
Larger cars such as the supra or the Skyline will use a supercharger for the low end that will phase out and the turbo will take over.
i have never heard of anyone that uses a turbo and a supercharger on the same car. not that it isn't possible, it is but the money to do this would WAY not be worth the time or money when you can just a two turbo set up consiting of one small turbo and one big turbo. small turbo to force feed the motor until the big turbo has spooled up to speed. on a side note turbos and superchargers don't "phase" out, they get to the point where they are not efficent anymore and are just blowing hot air into the motor. :). i'm not trying to be a know it all,(cause God knows i am nowhere close to knowing it all), just trying to help you guys out with some info.
