Super,turbo,charger

[Kevin@nextmod]

Think that's amazing? Consider this: These cars were powered by 1.4-liter four-cylinder engines and had no low-range transfer case. Okay, the TSI 1.4-liter unit does have VW's new Twincharger technology, which employs an Eaton dual-screw supercharger for low-rpm grunt and a BorgWarner KKK turbocharger for high-rev power augmentation.

Better off to have just put a bigger engine into the thing instead in my opinion.

Cool idea though.

Some day I hope to add a turbo to my Sunfire. Twincharging seems like a great idea to me.

People have done the same thing in the past using two different sized turbos. Just makes sense to go one step further and use a blower for the instant low-end boost.
