I've been reading up on twincharging and it would appear that a fairly modern upgrade option for a turbo engine is to add a supercharger.
There are a few configurations to choose from but it does make sense when you think about it. It's a good way to overcome lag in turbos.
Does anyone have any information about twincharging, the pros & cons, best setup and tech info about the problems encountered. Does one put the supercharger and turbo inlets inline and which should go first?
Surely a supercharger pre the turbo will help the turbo to spool up more quickly as it catches the charged air stream. Why do VW do it the other way round with the turbo coming first (or do they I might have misread it)?
(I've just added this article http://www.torquecars.com/tuning/twincharging.php on twincharging for reference, thanks for the updates and tips guys.)
