Post TwinCharged(Turbo&Supercharged) GT VW's

http://www.popsci.com/popsci/automot...cbccdrcrd.html First oem twincharged car I've read about, and it's made for fuel economy not performance :[ I guess it's an alternative to their turbocharged diesel engines.

Nissan had one in the late 80's, early 90's. The Micra/March.
VW = bandwagon.

As part of a different thread, but never by itself.

in the late 80's early 90's they had the first gen MR-2's with superchargers stock on them.. and HKS designed a kit that made them twincharged... with a t-25 turbo. The kit was pretty expensive but, made the 1.6L powerplant in the MR-2 put down 350HP and run a mid 11 secs in the quarter mile.. which is pretty impressive at 12-14 psi. I believe those were the specs. There were only 5 kits made and are now out of production. but what a lucky 5 people to have a light, quick and nimble car... MMMMmmmm no boost lag... awesome.

The topic was about cars that were twin charged from the factory.

True, but are there many turbo kits for a stock supercharged car

To be honest, the only one I've heard of is the 1st gen MR2 (which I heard of quite a bit) and several twin charged Tiburons.

But from the factory, the March is the only one I've heard of, until the latest offering from VW.

There's at least one out for the Cooper S, IIRC.
