    Whoa, there is barely an intelligent comment in this whole thread so far. I don't even know where to start it's so bad...

    Search for twincharging - it's been discussed on here plenty of times before, and learn some basic physics. PV=nRT.

    Lets just assume that turbo chargers are driven by air flow rather than heat, which they're not really. What you're suggesting is to drive a supercharger from the engine, causing power loss from driving the blower, then using that to drive a turbo charger. Now even really efficient turbo's have a 75% or less efficient turbine housing. So in order to move 20lbs of air (enough for about 200hp) with the turbo you'd have to pump 25lbs of air with the blower. I think you'd be a hell of a lot better off just pushing that air from the blower into the engine.

    General rule of thimb, if you think of a wicked cool thing that is super duper awesome and nobody else has tried it, you might want to look into your understanding of what you've thought of. Generally either someone has tried it and it was a debarcle or people who actually understand things have figured out that trying it is a complete waste of time.
