you can do just about anything with enough money.....but why? I have never seen this on a G, nor do I think it would be beneficial to do it. If it were a large displacement V8, V10, or V12 then maybe, but a 3.5 V6 just doesn't produce enough torque down low to be able to spin two superchargers efficiently. Stick with a single supercharger or go single turbo/twin turbo. Don't to make things overly complicated.

yes, Toyota did a twin charger on the MR2's a few decades ago. Turbo and supercharged, but they stopped doing it.

I don't see the point of a twin supercharger, but I can see the benefits of a twin charged system (supercharger, turbocharger) to combat the effects of turbo lag.

no.

roots supercharger and single turbo is a much more viable option, but TT would make the most sense.

That's show car kinda stuff.

No one NEEDS 10 tvs in their car, but people do it anyways.

A regular twin turbo kit or supercharger will make more boost than the engine can handle anyways. Anything else is just for show.

The twin turbo kits on these motors have very little lag so there really isn't a use for a twin-charged setup.

I remember that car. It was a cool concept. Tons of work to make it work.

+1.but i think he meant twin super chargers not a super charger and a turbo (twin charge) twin super charge only work well with larger motors i mean huge engines. v6 it takes energy to spin a charger and multiplying that on a V6= FAIL.
check out this twin super charged lambo (V12) and ferrari on youtube
