twincharge my already supercharged mr2???

ive been looking into twincharging my mr2 by adding a turbo onto the roots type supercharger, ive seen it and heard about it being done and kinda want to expirement. anybody have any experience, any suggestions on the exact turbocharger to get (make and model) also looking to spend as little as possible on the turbocharger itself. ive read that it can hook up to the supercharger and with the SC you get that instant boost then once you get the rpms up to speed the turbo can kinda do its thing while the supercharger continues providing pressurized air to the Turbo. pretty complicated but it sounds like a fun fall/winter project

do better research.

you'll be better off with a well mated turbo and it will cost you less.

the terms "looking to spend as little as possible" and "twincharge" don't go together.

I'd be surprised if after all is said and done the project wouldn't take 6 months to a year and cost $4,000-5,000 just to have a setup that produces the same power as a $1500 turbo setup and ends up being less reliable.

there's a LOT more to twincharging other than just slapping a turbo on it and running a pipe to the s/c.... especially when you decide which way to feed and control valves to ensure boost is directing the correct way through the system.
