Elchfaenger:
Now this is great, an old Manta chassis and a Volvo engine! Didnt know you could squeeze so much power out of it! Maybe i should work a bit on my own Volvo? ;)But they are kinda crazy, using a truck turbo charger...

EvoHo:
http://forums.evolutionm.net/showthread.php?t=127361&highlight=Supercharger

that's an evo with a supercharger feeding a turbocharger because the guy lives in Denver and due to the high altitude, the large turbo won't function as well without a supercharger feeding it....pretty tight imo, i wish i had the cash to pop that on my evo

JC:
Personally, I like superchargers, but not a roots or a centrifugal.... Twin screw!

My car's in the process of being slowly modified to have a 800hp+ Whipple Blower (Designed for big 5.7L - 8L (I'm sure you can work out the cc's yourselves, or learn what a Litre is :P) V8's, and I'm putting this on a Inline 6 RB30E (R31 Skyline engine), after it's been highly tuned and had a RB25DE head put on it (Making it an RB30DE, Duel overhead cam, Electronic Fuel Injection), then the supercharger...

Best of all, it'll all be street legal, with the blower on a missile switch to turn it on and off (You can have a supercharger off, start driving, and turn it on at will, provided you reinforce the block enough).

I'm crazy, I know, but so are most aussies :P

EDIT: Whipple blowers are good for up to 30PSI of pressure, which is just over two times the earths atmosphere /EDIT

Driving along you'll sound like a WW2 fighter plane \00/

JC:
Not much different from what it is now, just a bit louder due to a revised exhaust system (2 1/2 inch all the way through, two hi flow exhausts, hi flow cat)

Whipple blowers don't make much sound compaired to other blowers... Just that I'll need a blow off valve with the pressure between shifts (Needing a Supra 6 speed gearbox else it'll munch it very quickly)

Also, that one with the evo and high altitude... What does altitude have to do with a turbo spooling up? They operate by the exhaust pressure, thus spinning to force feed the air into the engine... He doesn't NEED a supercharger on it, he just wanted to look cool :P The advantage of the supercharger is  with it on a low boost, it means that the turbo, regardless of if it's extremely large or not, spool up quickly at low RPMS due to the high pressure of the exhaust gasses from the supercharger rapidly force feeding it from the moment the engine rpms climb above idle (Or if he really wants to be smart/stupid, depending on your view of his well being if he dumps it or not, can have it boosting at idle... Not very smart!).
