can you supercharg and turbocharge at the same time???
Ok so my friend was telling me you can. He also said it is very unrealiable.
The topic sounded good soo that's why I want to look into it.
Can you do it? Is it realiable/is it healthy for yer vehicle? Cost??
Any help would be appreaciated.
Thanks guys.

I can't remember for the life of me which car has it, but there is a production car somewhere with both (maybe coming out next year or something like that, maybe in europe, I don't remember what the deal was). I think there was a tiny two paragraph article in motortrend or car & driver. I think it was a VW, and I think they called it "twincharged".

Its a good concept( I believe the SC maked low end power and spools the turbo). The only reason it would be unreliable would be because it hasn't really been done yet. As far as I know its a concept right now, hell it might be produtcion, IDK. But they dont make a kit for stangs, and i highly doubt there are any twin charged stangs yet.
Was it the VW Nardo concept maybe?
