if you need 4 power adders on one motor, you might want to find another car. or invest in bailing wire.

Well yea I could find a smaller turbine housing but I already had the sc and cost me lil to nothing to mount it. Also I want to prove wrong the ppl that say that this combo would not work. And last reason I did not went smaller housing is because im 19 and currently dont have a job.



The combo can work....

Oil changes are gonna be a bitch.  Nothing like having to remove the SC to to add oil...

I thought about the oil changes and everything and I will be adding my oil trough the back breather. But of course my hood will not close.

Reminds me of VW's new... I think it's called Twincharger system.  Uses a SC for low-end torque and a turbo for high-rpm power.  All computer controlled, of course.  They had a 1.8, 2.0, and 2.2, IIRC.  I think I remember from what I read about it, it was over a 100hp-per-liter setup.  Which isn't really earth-shattering, but it's pretty impressive for a V-dub.

It can work...I just don't understand why people think they need to run a turbo with a twin screw blower....it's a freakin' positive displacement supercharger...it won't stop making boost on that 2.3 at any rpm...low-end, mid-range, top-end...doesn't matter...sell your turbo and make your car a little lighter...you'll be faster.

I'm just wondering, won't the SC actually slow down the airflow when the turbo is really boosting in high rpms?  Simply, won't the turbo be sucking at the slower-moving blower?
