Supercharging?

i presume you mean removing the turbo and installing a supercharger... I don't think there is a kit available thus far, and if there was, there are very few that would take it over a turbo.

good luck finding room to twin charge it...

sounds like a good way to throw rods all over the place

I don't really know if it is. Our cars generate great torque down low compared to other turbo cars, so adding the SC would bog the engine down more. I don't think the ends justify the means, that's all.
I do find the twin charger concept interesting though. It does have an application on smaller displacement engines.

can we figure out how to make the actual turbocharger in this car work first before we do anything else to this poor engine. the fact that we are all brought to our knees by a plastic valve is enough to just concentrate on the car as is.

Um ugh urr... no. I don't think anyone has done any R&D on this idea.

There comes a point, mechanically, when the design is too complex to make reliable. This is one of those ideas. Can someone out there make it work? Yes, I'm quite sure. Is it worth it? To someone, somewhere I'm sure it is. Is it worth it to the masses? Not even close. Would it be reliable? In no way, shape, nor form.
If you're taking a serious look at doing this, you'll be one of the very few. You'll also have to spend some real cash to make it work. At that point, because of the obscure application, you are in another league of conditions so foreseeable reliability is thrown out the window.
Good luck!

There was a post a couple months back about the effects of low-end torque on your guys' engine. It's not designed for that insane amount of torque down low at all. It almost always results in a bent or broken rod.
If you took the time to build the motor, research, engineer, and fabricate the setup and figure out a way to tune it, it would truly be a great feat.
Like everyone else says, it's not impossible cause nothing is.

yeah i know it would probably throw rods all over the place. I was just wondering if anyone has seriously considered doing this. I mean im sure someone somewhere has looked into this a good bit and done some research. Also curious as to what that VW super/turbo manifold looked like.
Toyota sold a "Twin-charged" version of their 1.6L 1st gen MR-2 back in the day. Had a supercharger w/magnetic clutch engagement similar to an AC clutch and obviously a standard turbo as well. Wasn't that great....
