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.

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.
