Can you run a Turbocharger to supercharger?

HUH.. nobody here knows how a turbo works.. the intercooler cools the turbo not the air. So not to be mean but research a bit more. yes you can have a turbo and supercharged car.. They dont run through each other they run to the same place. all that air gets rammed into the intake. BUT the engine can only handle so much air and fuel that is why it isnt done that often one of the two are pretty much dummies. You could try to run turbo boosted air into a super charger but said super charge would need to collect the air either equally or slightly faster than the turbo can produce it thus it is limited buy the capacity of the supercharger.

sure but a 10 pound turbo and a 10 pound blower is still going to be 10psi. but the volume of deliverable air may go up provided the intake and filter are large enough.

Yes some car manufacturers use both at the same to help reduce turbo lag in smaller engines.

Sure - Anything is possible, if you have enough time & $$$. But, for why ?? Either a blower or a turbo by itself can rise the pressure in the intake manifold to the point it will pop it off the engine, so there is nothing to gain.

The engine would blow up. Even assuming it were possible, which it isn't, the amount of mixture detonating in the combustion chamber would exceed the design stress of the motor. You can't just keep adding power without consequences.

I was wondering if it would be possible to have a turbo on a car then make the boosted air run through the intercooler then into a supercharger to the engine, would this make more boost or make less?
