I'd have to agree with Paul but... How do you pipe both inlets up?

If its something else throw me a hint...

[SharkmanBMW]

I agree, what's up with that?!
can you have both? or are we seeing things?!

Jon, you HAVE been busy

The supercharger feeds the turbocharger. So, from idle until whatever RPM, the supercharger feeds the motor the compressed air. Once at a certain RPM the electromagnetic clutch disengages and the turbo alone picks up from there. The car is apparently making 2.0 BAR boost with an unreleased amount of horsepower. I watched some videos of it though, and the boost builds RAPIDLY fast. Unlike a car with a single big turbo, the boost is there almost immediately.

i've seen that done on a marine engine on a friend of mine's boat, never seen it on a street engine before, maybe its strictly for drag racing? the s/c forces air into what is called an aftercoler (same as an intercooler), it then sents compressed air to the inlet side of thecompressor on the turbocharger which goes to an intercooler and then fed to the engine and yeah it produces a huge amount of power, on the marine engine its something like 3000hp per engine and he has two in the boat

There is no aftercooler in this setup, it goes straight from supercharger to the inlet of the turbo, to an intercooler, then to the motor.
