26 MPG?!?!?! That sounds a little sketchy. When my car was bone stock it didn't get that kind of mileage.

That's exactly what I thought, too. I emailed him with a question or two concerning that.

How much HP is the belt steeling to run the Super charger?

With the New forced air being pushed into the turbo are the injector pulsing durring the burn cyle ?

I have seen this set up on diesel engines and fuel systems have been changed to accomidate the new increase in air volume.

That's not entirely true, turbos create back pressure which leads to EGR in the combustion chambers, exhaust gasses are noncombustible leaving less room for fuel/air. Hence the reason behind VVT on most high boost cars (EX. STI, Porsche...) Obviously superchargers don't have that problem. (excluding valve overlap which is a factor on all cars)
As far as this compound charged setup, it is one of the coolest I've ever seen, and the hp numbers speak for themselves. I wish I could see a map of how the air flows. Great job FAT INC!!!

Rumor is $9,500, but that is not an offcial price so who knows. Boost is supposed to come on at 1900 RPM. When does full boost come on, I don't know.

This seems like a great idea, but if you don't like it that's fine nobody is asking you to. I don't see why people attack this setup like it some how threatens their personhood. On NASIOC they are having a fit arguing back and forth like little children. The biggest reason not to have a setup up like this is a. Too expensive and b. Too complicated to get set up. B is not an issue if somebody developes a kit with the bugs worked out.

Sorry for the rant, but I never understood why it is when something new or different comes along people feel the need to tear it apart instead of asking questions for clarification or the theory/operation behind it.

Upon further review I really should have posted this on NASIOC as there isn't really any negative here.

as far as price goes the $9500 is for the used kit not new and we only make that kit for the hard core racer not just anyone can but this kit.
Makes sense. It is a complex system that very few people would need. Of course if I had the cash I would get one of those kits.

This is a great way to go about getting customers. I never said the car wasn't awesome or even that I wouldn't get one myself. I just haven't seen it in use yet so I'm trying to justify it in my head (i.e. supercharger+turbo=expensive) vs. other alternatives. I'm sure your company will do very well. As far as your advertising tactics go......well.........ignorance is bliss.
