wouldn't the supercharger push the air into the turbo and then the turbo would make the fast flowing air move faster. The only problem would be all the piping. thats what i think, what do you think?

its possible.. however.. the engine is already at its limit with just one.. so both would be added stress..

question:

are you interested in it for more power or juss for showoff purposes? im not trying to sound like a **** but it seems alot of people that want twin turbo Maxima, supercharge/turbocharge Maxima, Sleeved Maxima, is mostly in it not for speed but to brag and say they got this and that.

Would you also have to use seperate gauges for the turbo and SC and controls for each as well?

This would become cluttered really fast.

There exists a RB26DETT w/ a turbo and supercharge. VERY difficult to build tune, fabricate etc.. And for what? It would probably take all that the Nissan AWD could offer to harness the power. So what's point in a FWD maxima? Doesn't make sense.

it's called twin-charging by some people and it is possible... there is no reason to do it one a maxima... you can make plenty of HP to blow up the motor with a turbo alone

There are some Viper guys who do it. Mainly for bragging rights though fo the highest HP.
