    Yes, it has been done, mostly for show, but VW had other ideas...

    I guess you forgot about the lancia delta s4 deriving 470 hp from a 1759 cc 4 cilinder engine using super and turbo charger!

    I have no idea what kind of turbo that is & don't know if it is still in existence.

    IIRC, it was conceived & owned by a Japanese gentleman with the "more money than God" option.

    Don't lose sight of the fact that a mind is like a parachute...it works best when open.

    They could've saved a lot of tubing/lag time by mounting the air filter on the turbo itself underneath the truck. I'm sure most of you've seen the STS turbo's running around. Similar set up and performance numbers are supposed to be pretty good.

    My friend and I have been toying with the idea. He has a spare turbo from his 89 RX-7. We were thinking of trying to fab up something silly over the summer when school isn't too hectic. Thought it is pretty unlikely.
