wondering if you could put a regular or aftermarket intake on w/throttle body and then turbo it? the vaccume connections could be made about the same and all the connections would work. 
The benefits are surely worth the cost. On our Mini twincharger kit we have bumped power on pump gas up 120+whp. The power increase can go much higher as we still have another 100whp left in the turbo if we crank the boost up. Performance wise the twincharger kit puts the Cooper S into another league entirely dropping 1/4 mile Ets about 1.5-2 second and bringing trap speeds up from low 90's to 105+ on pump gas and street tires.Nocturn said:Well while you CAN turbo a SC car, the benefits don't really seem that great for the cost. I know that the ecotec has been made to withstand a good amount, and with a SC the increased air can be cooled by the N20 so you can run more than a NA engine, but I wouldn't push more than a 150 shot without doing more research.
cobaltssblue said:sounds good mark but i'm still skeptical. another idea you can help me with then is WHAT IF...... you removed all the plumbing for the water intercooler except the cooler itself. then used a c02 system to attach to the factory cooler and pumper the c02 into the cooler? it would be like sprayting the outside with no2 and alot cheaper?
By twin charging do you mean dual superchargers or a turbo and a SC?[email protected] said:The benefits are surely worth the cost.

Nocturn said:I agree. with todays superchargers they can make upwards of 45 PSI depending on what your looking for, it does draw more parasitic loss, but the advantages of straping on a turbo just for more top end is kinda redundant in my book, when a SC is already on the car and provides good power up top.
Pablo said:Wow, after seeing that dyne I can't argue with the guys at psi-fi, seems like this is a good idea, my only concern would be how much will this cost in the end and will the be fitment issues. Other than that looks like a great way to make a ton of power.
So your comparing your twin charge setup to a modified supercharger setup? Excuse me if I am interpreting the chart wrong, but idealy wouldnt a fair comparison be between both setups running the same PSI on their original parts? I.E. the SC at 15 PSI, vs the twin charge at 15 PSI? of coarse your system is going to make more power if it puts out more PSI.[email protected] said:Fitment issues none as we are going to fabricate it on the car and have everything custom made. Cost is up in the air till we have our final parts cost list.

Hell yes Im comparing a JCW to our twincharger, the cost is the same and the service to do the mods is greater, i'd put my $ on same boost level power to go to the twincharged setup as well...Nocturn said:So your comparing your twin charge setup to a modified supercharger setup?
