Anything is possible, but this one is not likely. What would be the point? Both are examples of forced induction, so stacking different means of achieving the same result, would still achieve the same result. In some cases, a worse result.

So, no, it would not be practical, from a financial or performance standpoint. Pick one.

in the performance stand point it has been done before, with good results if you have alot of money to waste! you would use the supercharger for the instant boost and hav a BIG turbo that wouldnt spool till higher rpms where it would make all of its power. (inother words you would use the supercharger to get rid of the turbo lag)

but like T Ho said it wouldnt be practical

There are alot of ppl with Super/Turbo/NOS setup...not on a TL...but hardcore racers. You ever seen a Honda Civic with 500 HP? This is how they get it.

fsttyms1 is right...super is there until the turbo kicks in, and NOS is there to boost everything.

You mean ran high 12s (12.9 @ 111mph)! He ran a high 13 (13.9) with just the usual bolt ons and some car prepping.

Sequential turbocharging can accomplish the same thing. Small one for quick boost, big one for big boost. Supras and RX-7s did it like this, didn't they?

I have talked to allmotor. He says the CL and TL can have a turbo but the automatic tranny will not hold up.

You must add NOS too.
