<<Yep... and they don't even know what a supercharger is. A supercharger
AND a turbo? A turbo IS IS IS a supercharger!>>

Hmm.
Maybe in your part of the globe a supercharger is a turbo, or a turbo is
a supercharger.

Here in the land of big inches, and horepower, a GMC 671 Supercharger,
and a Schwitzer turbo are two different animal's, and often used in
tandem.

One being belt driven the other depends on the exhaust for it's drive.

Supercharging with a single turbo or twin turbo boost is nothing new.

Ignorance does rule...
