Any one know if this has ever been done? A SuperTurbo Hybrid?
I can't see why, but then I can't see why not which usually counts for more.

think there are a fw mini and golf boys running about with this setup

the supercharger gives lots of low down grunt and means you can run a larger turbo as its not needed til higher up in the rev range...

think the hardest bit is getting them to work in harmony

Is the Lancia Delta S4 not supercharged and turbocharged? (although turbocharging is a form of supercharging but you get what i mean!)
