Ok, so I know this project is crazy, not at all practical, and very expensive. I'm perfectly fine with that. I have a 2012 3.7L mustang that I will modify after getting my second car. I thought about engine swapping before but I decided to stay true to its v6 roots. That being said I have been very intrigued by the idea of adding both a supercharger and a turbo to it. There is a kit in the works for the gt500 blower to be fitted to the 3.7L (I'm getting a raised aftermarket hood so clearance isn't an issue) that I will be using and the turbo is undecided. I wanted to ask if any one is familiar with the twincharging process and what supporting mods will be needed? I plan on starting this project in about a year so I'm in no rush. Thanks in advance!

You have to use a small supercharger. That feeds boost into the engine as the large turbo spools.
When the turbo is producing boost, the supercharger is bypassed and decoupled to reduce parasitic
loss. That means a lot of efficient power; with near-instant response; and a long, flat torque curve.
This is for smaller motors, not sure how effective it's going to be on a bigger V6. This has been
around since 1985, with a Lancia Delta car, and 1989 with a Nissan. Volkswagen has been
twincharging their 1.4 TSI in Europe. VW claims it has an output to a naturally aspirated 2.3-liter
motor, but with 20% better fuel economy. However, they're done with that because:
Putting that GT500 blower on your 3.7 is way too big for the twincharging setup. You may as well
just use the blower by itself. Twincharging is engineered for small displacement motors.
