I can see how a Twin Turbo set up would work on the RB26 motor, but......I don't see how they make the supercharger work also.

The supercharger worked at low speed. Once the turbo cut in, a bypass valve relieved the pressure from the supercharger so that energy efficiency was be lifted.

Low end boost (supercharger) and then top end higher boost pressures courtesy of the twin turbo. Compressed air throughout the entire rpm band with no turbo lag.

On a side note I don't know how many I have told people that this type of engine configuration would be killer. You'd be money off the line and at high speeds. The best of both worlds. The only problem is actually fitting the damn thing in a car.

Ah I see, damn I wonder how much that thing costs, and if they have ever tested that thing for power numbers.

Im sure that one is better than the version on that MR2 in the Sport Compact car competition they had several years ago.
