I've been trying to pursuade Retro Cars to feature it for about a year or so,... At one point it looked like Ronnie would be able to come over for last years RCS,.. but there was a race meeting that weekend in Sweden so it didn't happen,..
More recently I've been trying to get Bryn to convince someone it needs featuring,.. the car is just awesome,..

On the chavvy cruise forums they always think it's a BMW.

What's the deal with both types of forced induction together anyway - do they both work at the same time or supercharger at low revs and turbocharger higher up? Only other car I can think of with both is the Lancia Delta S4, but I have no idea whatsoever how they work...

Delta S4 used a blower to provide boost at low revs and then switched to the turbo at higher revs...

Top grammar tips! Bought = purchased. Brought = relocated Lose = misplace/opposite of win. Loose = your mum

AFAIK it means you can kick in the Turbo at higher revs with more boost, rather than compromise the level of boost for lower rev range,.. Ideally the Turbo will have spooled up and be effective at the point in the rev range when the blower is giving no extra power.
Constant boost = yum!

Nissan did a "March Superturbo" in Japan - a K10 Micra with a turbo and supercharger.

Yeah that march super turbo is a very cool bit of kit. When i had my charade turbo, i had a chat to a chap who was heading towards the 200bhp mark with one of those. Cool bit of kit!
