A turbo pushing compressed air into a supercharger. Holy shit.
IMHO i think they already upgraded the turbo most likely to some super monsterous size causing major turbo laq EVEN with the v-6 so they use the superchargers to boost during low RPM because the belt is more constant, and on demand. So while the turbos are being spooled up the superchargers are doing the boosting. Its kinda like the sequential set-up on some TT cars.
I might be wrong on this though

thats retarted, not "wow" b/c a turbo spins faster and flows much more air than a supercharger. once he got past 4k rpm those dinky superchargers would act as a restriction b/c they couldnt push air out as fast as the turbo's were pushin air in. Alot of the mini cooper guys ran into this prob when they twin charged the old cooper S's. that setup is definitely for bling factor and not HP gain.

lol. It amazes me how the s2k community always looks for power numbers when we should know better. 650hp modestly rated but the gains in torque should be huge. It says it's not intended for drag racing so a rediculously big turbo, that would take ages to spin, but haul ass up top is out of the question.
