There is some sort of diverter that allows S/C'ing to a certain RPM then the turbo takes over correct? Otherwise the S/C'er is a "limiter" wrt flow? Whatever the case it looks awesome, I'd love to pull up to some "Jiffy Lube" and have them pop the hood and see that! Probably have to scape the 'tech' off the floor.

Nissan made a car called the March Super Turbo in the late 80s in Japan, I was reading about how it uses the supercharger for low RPMs and then switches over to turbo at higher RPMs.. It looked kind of cool, with a 930cc supercharged/turbocharged engine in a tiny little hatchback.

You'd have to have some pretty sophisticated ECU to make that work right I would think.
