Yes

Sure why not but why not just use a bigger supercharger or twin turbo?

it has been done

if you wanna see some crazy forced induction engines check out some tractor pullers, i've definitely seen turbo/supercharger combined on one engine

only thing i've ever worked on with both was a detroit diesel 2 stroke that had a turbo atop a roots style blower but it wasnt really designed for the performance we all had in mind.

VW's new twincharger, has a turbo and supercharger putting out over 150hp.

Yes it can be done, but no it is not proactical for anyone other than those who can succesfully do it for a reasonable cause.

Wow, 168 hp, 7.9 0-60.... it has a turbocharger and a supercharger, and it's still slow as shit. Way to go, VW. Sure, it gets 30 mpg city and 48 mpg highway, but with that much induction I'm sure that engine won't last long at all.

If it only has 168bhp, then there isn't much induction at all:laugh:

Well, it's only a 1.4, so there is a significant amount of induction to get 168 hp.

1.4 liters is a very, very small amount of displacement for a naturally aspirated engine, so you will need plenty of induction to get up to 168 hp and 170+ lb/ft
