Great, we finally agree.


But I still dont get Turbo->SC.
It says they used an additional turbo, but nowhere a modified charger, which they probably had to, since it had to deal with altered pressure.
Also, I thought SC work with lower pressure compared to turbos.
Plus, the SC is fed with (still)hot air and heats its up again.
I have some doubts concerning efficiency, what is the SC's purpose? Reduce IC lag?

I guess I'll have to do some research.

looks similar to a p47 in concept,
Not really, the P47 just had a turbo/IC setup - but they called it "exhaust-supercharger" which adds to the confusion.
That is according to the infos I just found. I'd be more than happy to hear about a combo system.
