Turbo and supercharger question.

[x-tream]

This is a crazy question, that some of us came up with sitting around the shop tonight. What would happen, or is it possible, to hook the outlet from the supercharger to the inlet of the Turbo and then into the motor??? Just something to think about!!

Too much plumbing, incressed lag. How would you fuel it?

oh i was just about to say it was a clusterfu**... but it sounds better the way you put it.

ive actually seen a turbo feeding into a roots type blower before.... as well as an older car that was featured in popular hot rodding a while ago that had 2 roots type blowers and twin turbos. i dont really think the gains you would see are worth the work necessary to make it run well, but its a pretty cool idea.

and i THINK that some firetrucks have something like that...

I believe the old 2-stroke Detroit Diesel's have a similar setup.

The only advantage I could see is cooler air spooling up the turbo. I'm not a brainiac so I don't know. Sounds lke something a bunch of drunkin gear heads would discuss at the local watering hole. heheh
