There are more.

If you were thinking of adding something like this (called twincharging) its really not feasible. Superchargers are big by them selfs, a super and a turbo would most likely not fit in an engine bay.

yeah but if you put your turbos on the ends of your headers they wouldn't exactly be inside the engine bay...

It has been done.

I know its been done, what I meant was that it doesn't really make a lot a sense. A twin turbo effectivley eliminates lag so having a twincharger is really overkill.

Does having a W16 make any sense?

Twin turbos themself doesn't decrease lag, only if they are used in a sequential setup.

Does having 1000 hp make sense?

Thats what I meant.

Sure, the more HP the better (of course until you start getting into the uncontrollable, dangerous numbers), but why use a 16-cylinder engine which is larger, heavier, and less efficient than a 12-cylinder?
