Not efficient.

The setup would be very extensive AND expensive. Its nothing you couldnt do with a properly sized turbo and the right components.

There are a few twincharged cars...Lancia, old MR2's, etc, as well as the Meguiars Integra which I believe had a kit that was never really produced. Just a prototype with a lot of bugs. Theres a few threads discussed in the past on this in here and the FI forum.

possible..yes, practical, probably not. With an integra you are not gonna benifit from twin turbos, it would be better to just get one big turbo if you are looking for crazy power. As for superchargers and turbos, unless it is highly tuned and you have upgraded everything in your engine you are better off using a just a single turbo and turning up the boost if you need more power (of course to turn up the boost you are gonna need to have more tuning and probably more upgrading to do throughout the engine) I think there was a Type R that had a jackson supercharger w/ a custom turbo setup in some magazine a year or so ago that was owned by meguiar's, and the its numbers wernt any more impressive than a tuned single turbo setup. Stuff like that is more for show than anything else, sometimes people just do things to show that they CAN do them.

possible if you had lotz of $$$ and a really good engineer and a really powerful motor... i've seen a turbo with supercharger set up on a M3 i think over in europe but that's a I-6!... i don't think a I-4 can produce that much power to push both
