Has anyone, on any car ever ran both a supercharger and a turbo? I'm just curious, not really caring about results, just curious if anyone's even attempted it.

I've seen it. It was on a 2000 Civic Hatchback believe it or not. It had a B16, Vortech supercharger and a Turbonetics 60/1 Turbo. It was crazy, actually it is for sale in Newington VA. I'm not sure what the hp is on it, but it's pretty crazy under that hood.
Yes for the MR2 (they call it MR6 cuz it's V6) project the supercharger is for quick throttle response but their main focus is on the turbo for boost. The turbo they planned to use was a big one and it lack a lot of low-end power and have a longer spool time. I've also heard of sequential twince turbos with different size turbo and use the smaller one to assist the big one to spool. Me no tech guy and after read both I think the supercharger/turbo setup sounds better I think...
I figured it would of had to been done already, its really cool in concept. I like the idea of using a larger turbo for top end, high rpm power, and the supercharger for low end off the line kind of accel.
