Re: super/turbo combination

Okay...It's not a stupid idea. In theory you could make it work. Aside from the control aspects of the turbo(s), it's pretty simple and doesn't require a clutch on the supercharger. If the supercharger is not making boost (i.e. the air isn't flowing into the engine), it requres very little power to turn it. OEM systems often bypass the blower. Spooling up the turbos and engaging them and dis-engaging the blower smoothly, without spikes, is the real challenge. Good luck.
