Default Turbo blowing into supercharger-will it work?

Some friends and I were talking today.We were all wondering what would happen if you say took a STS turbo with the T76 and set it up to blow through a supercharger say a Radix.What do you guys think would happen?
We are all stumped we really can't figure out what would happen.

Something tells me that 427 is underpriced....I think you'd end up spending more than $8990.00 to do it right.

radix will not be able to keep up. It will be WAY to restrictive. Now maybe if you were going to use a t76 and then feed into a d-1 or f-1 procharger you might have something

It's been done before, maybe not with that exact setup but I remember seeing it in Hot Rod magazine in the mid eightys. I believe it was Rick Doberton's Pontiac J2000. Try a google search on it maybe there is some info out there.

Found some info. Twin turbos, twin blowers, and nitrous injected.

Almost every grayhound bus out there has a compound system under the hood, Big jimmy blower and a turbo. At least they use to not sure if they still do it or not

It's called a superturbo and I think Audi or VW will be coming out w/ one in the next year or two. It's set up like this the supercharger hits down low out of the range of turbo lag then at a predetermined RPM the computer tells a soleniod to "close the door" so to speak (bypass system) and the turbo takes over where the SC left off and viola...no lag, boosted perfromance down low and the top end to boot. Hence the name "SuperTurbo"...
