Here's the problem I see and have experienced with my i/c setup
The problem is not in front of the engine it's on the side. I just don't think there is enough room over there to run the piping needed to combine the two and have an intake and intercooler (which will be a MUST at this point). Idk, I'm sure it can be done somehow but I personally would rather just get a higher boost pulley (which will give more boost at lower rpm) and if needed build the block with the money a dual charge setup would take.

get some pen and paper.
M62 Eaton supercharger with custom log manifold, with the TB mounted on the end of it (custom bent pipe to locate TB in OE position). that would put the drive for it at the rear really close to the sheetmetal around the spring. Should be feasible after some firewall and sheetmetal smacking with a hammer. But try to make it look purdy. the supercharge has a built-in bypass so that can be used to disable the s/c when turbo is spooling.
Then install your choice of turbo kit. Pat yourself on the back, your done.
I've seen it done a long time ago, I think it was on a cavalier.
pick of a cavy with the s/c only with a manifold that im talking about.

turbo lag would be removed by the s/c....with a s/c and a turbo, the car would have a huge hp curve, not justa huge spike...thing....a 12 psi supers, and a 15 or so psi turbo....thats gonna be a lot of boost across the board..

What if you had a S/C then one of those rear mounted turbos that went under the rear of the car(idea of rear mount is being thrown around in another topic).
Would that be considered dual charching ? and wouldnt that be an easier way to go about it ?
