It's supercharged, turbocharged and intercooled.
This kit was engineered to be the finest boosing system in the world, and to match the horsepower and torque of a large V8. This system creates 600hp. With zero lag!

I assume there's a clutch for the supercharger pulley, or else, in high rpm range, the parasitic drag will even out the turbo.
Other than that, seems overkill and redundant, and redundant. Without a legend, I can only speculate what that dyno graph means... but it doesn't seem too different from a well turbo'd WRX.
Also, is it me, or does that look like the turbo feeds directly into the supercharger? They should have used an intercooler similar to ones used in the GReddy G35 (two inlet and one outlet design)
Or just shoehorn an LS1 engine like FD guys do...

Seems like a complete waste of money.
A well designed turbo system has virtually zero lag with todays technology. Gone are the days of huge lag time and narrow power bands.
Seems like decent fab work but pointless in my humble opinion.

OK guys, I'm no expert and using the search function got me a million posts, so simple question: "What is my best option to get 600 horse power and no lag". I'm looking for a winter project, should I super charge, or should a drop in a new engine ? I've got a 98 GS4.

Moved to car chat.... I don't see anything remotely about a GS in that link Braheem

And so it begins.

Twincharging is nothing new.
The S/C for the low end, the Turbo for the high end.
