Question STS Rear Turbo + TRD Supercharger???

Just out of curiosity and practicality does anyone on here think it's possible?

I think heat would be the worse of problems, especially turbo dumping straight to supercharger intake

the problem is, (as it's been stated in the other twin charged threads that nobody bothers to search for), the trd unit is not a roots style blower and makes no low end torque. so its kind of pointless.

If I remember it was barely making like 250whp? Not sure if it was a conservative tune or not but I think they also had trouble keeping the car running for awhile to?

You can do it but most would recommend just pick one route and go with it. Rear mounts require more the usual amounts of piping and the end result (powerwise) aren't worth going thru. I've seen a few rear mounted-GTO's and they always get beaten by a straight supercharger or turbo setup so keep this in mind. Spool time is a little delayed with all that extra plumbing. If we had more Volumetric Efficiency or more displacement then it might be worth it.

Hope we helped you out.

My fault guys. I was just really tired when I made this post. Wasn't thinking clearly. I got back form drill earlier and when I driving back the idea popped in my head. I do remember Gojira making low numbers for what was done to it. Other than that thanks everyone for clearing that up. Plus I'm just deciding if I want to go boost when I get back or just use it as a beater to get around or save up for another car.
