i don't see the point in this as a larger turbo upgrade could have done the same with much less complexity. This reminds me of the twincharged MCS I had before I got the S2k which did neither setup well.

Be nice if we could understand what they are saying, might actually get the scoop on why they did it and what the benefits are. My educated guess says that they have been able to retain the factory power curve and response of the smaller twin turbo set up but now making much more power through the entire rpm range vs bigger turbos which would completely alter the power band, shifting it upward in the range and making more peaky.

^^ indeed, the way i see it since they are porbably boosting more then stock psi, the superchargers will reduce/elimnate turbo lag and increase low-midrange power, as they state in the article.


kind of like a sequential TT setup but cooler to say/look at? id love to see a vid or a dyno of this setup on a R35

The other big problem with a system like this is unless they get everything sized just right the turbos are going to choke the supercharge or vice versa.
