yep. I mean turbocharged and blown!

I know on old school diesels this was the "hotrod setup".

Why would you want to do that?

Be a waste IMO. Do one or the other.

Don't say lag either because my turbo doesnt lag :p

Old school diesel? I thing you must have seen an old 2cycle Detroit Diesel they used the blower for scavenger pump and would not run with out them. The silver seres had valves on the side of the blower and open up to routed boost around to make it more efficient.

Nothing wrong with creativity. There is however something wrong with your head if you wanna spend the money on 2 power adders, lots of custom fabrication, lots of tuning, and all headaches involved with such a system...

So we should never gone to the moon or mars, or heck develop a world most superior jet figther(f22 raptor and f35stoval).
Because these took lots of custom fab, brain trust to figure out. Plus some diesel guys run three power adders, turbo, nitrous, propane. Are you going let diesels show you up. HAHA just kidding.
So everybody should be like everybody??? ummmm yeah rrrriiiggghhtt.
Be different, and stand out. It is up to the person to deicide if it is worth time and money. But if he did do it and work out awesome. He would be envied by lots of people. Maybe you!!
There is noting wrong this figuring out the impossible.

i think it can be done. but the killer is going to be equalling them out to work together. the heat build up is going to be the worst part. adding the turbo on the diesel application was a good idea since they can run insane amounts of boost. and the blower was there to run it so the engine really only had one power adder.i think it would be neat. maybe a b 7m blower with a flange on top and a lot of fabbing. go for it.
