is there such a thing as super and turbo charged cars

if so, how does it work, wouldnt too much air come in, and not enuff fuel?

wat company makes kits?

last, will it work on an audi

thanks in advance

audis have engines that come with turbos already
and theres not a lot of supercharged cars the only one i can think of are the Mbenz wit there 5.5 liter supercharged

well u can supercharge alotta cars, any american car can be supercharged, some acuras ( the higher end ones) lots more...

but which car is capable of using both systems?

A4 2.8 with the PES kit and no I do not think you can do both

Hate to shoot you down, CLC, but I beg to differ. [sm=icon_beat.gif]

Technically, it wouldn't be impossible to do. Just impractical. [sm=badidea.gif] I mean, a turbo spins off of the exhaust gasses, pressurizing an intake plenum and forcing more air into the manifold. (this is just a basic explaination, so NO sharpshooting allowed, unless I got something COMPLETELY rong) More air means more oz avail for combustion. A supercharger is belt-drived, and spins at a percentage (generally above) of engine speed, also pressurizing a plenum and forcing more air into the manifold. Agian, more oz, better burn in the combustion chamber.

You'd have to have everything bolted together with, like, SUPER bolts, or something. And, with today's modern engines, the computational power needed to manage the whole thing would be prohibitively expensive, on a street car. [sm=gears.gif]

I found a forum on supercharging vs. turbocharging:
http://www.automotiveforums.com/f119...induction.html
You'll find more info than you EVER wanted on Turbo's and Superchargers.

And one specifically about turbo AND supercharging on the same engine:

Hope this helps...

M-B has pretty much homogenized their engine and drivetrain lines. You can pretty much order a Kompressor for just about every engine in any given model, same for their 4Matic drivetrain. Don't know if you can order BOTH on all vehicles, though. Anyone care to show me up on this?

thanks for the posts, youve all been very helpful

i guess its safe to say yes it is possible, but can ur engine handle the power?

RS wut car do u have

You can use a supercharger (centrifugal) to produce a low amount of boost (2-3 psi) and run it directly into the turbo to help with spool up. Never seen it done but it works as a theory.
