Hmm, that forum is calling it a "sequential" supercharger-turbocharger setup. I Don't see anything sequential at all about it. The turbos dump into the intake manifolds upper plenum beneath the supercharger before the A/W inter-cooler.
That's NOT sequential.
Still a bad *** combo, they must have a vacuum/boost operated differential pressure switch/solenoid that operates a valve where the turbo charge piping meets the upper intake plenum. Otherwise, at low RPM when the turbos aren't producing boost, that supercharger would just be back feeding into the turbo's charge piping, not building boost in the manifold.
