Turbo+supercharger on subaru
#2
the subaru is capable (with supporting mods) of having 500+bhp turbos, why go to the cost and expense of a supercharger? besides there isnt enough room under the bonnet as it is!

Because with higher bhp you tends to get larger turbos which take more time/revs to spool add to this fmic, longer pipework, etc. Supercharging gives an instant 'urge' prior to the turbo comming in - he presto, no lag

Not sure, here's the main link to the car:
Forced Air Technologies Subaru STI: Intercooled Twin Turbo Supercharged
Would be interested to know how well it worked, to see if it was worth all the effort that they put into it. Looks like a quality build tho - there's a subaru engine in there somewhere
They don't have any details / dyno graphs etc listed, and as this was first found a while ago I would have thought that if they attained good results they would have posted a graph up at least...
