well there ya go, can't figure it out though,
the exhaust spins the turbos, then goes to the downpipe --check
the supercharger, spins forces air into the intercooler, --- check
intercooler forces air into the cars intake--- check
the twin air filters, suck air into the turbos--- check

wheres the air from the turbo's going????? into the supercharger?

yes, the air will basically be pressurized out of the compressor of the turbocharger and leading to the inlet of supercharger which is craming even more air. Its a difficult concept to make efficent i think considering there will eventually be a weak link. The turbo charger can really most likely move more air then the supercharger and has the ability to make more power(depending on the size of the blower) so in other words after the turbo spools up and starts making boost sooner than it would the supercharger could actually become a hinderance to the engine because the turbocharger is pushin more air faster than the supercharger can handle. The supercharger as you know is connected to a belt so it will only spin so many rpms and create a fixed amount of boost. So you really have to have it down to a science so they both help eachother and no one pushes the other to far.
