Twin charged 2.4 liter This type of set up won't really get you any more power than a properly sized and tuned turbo will. If I'm not mistaken the only reason he did it was to prove that it can be done. So to answer your question: yes it is possible to twin charge a vechicle but you will not see any power gains over a properly built turbo system. So do your homework on turbo sizing and forget about running both a turbo and supercharger. It will save you lots of time and money.

Twin charged is good for unique, but overall isn't that cost effective for power. Lots of money got the guy 230whp. It was an excellent idea though. I've had both, gm s/c on a 2.4 and a turbo ecotec, turbo is way more fun and way more power.

If you ask about adding an SC to a turbo setup for more power, step away from your car and forget about boosting it.
