Like Mac said, it can be done, but.... it's useless on our engines.
The point of 'twin charging' as I have heard it called, is to relieve the spool up time of larger turbochargers. Little four bangers don't use these large turbo's, so it's useless. If you were driving a Rather evil drag race car with a big fat T-4 turbo, you could supercharge it and have boost straight off the line with the SC and boost latter after the engine gets up to speed with the Turbo. Makes for a big smile, and a small wallet. Jon |
