    there have been a few cars like that, even here in the US. when people upgrade them they simply remove the supercharger and go from there with a larger turbo, there comes a point where it doesnt help anymore..

    well, the system they talked about in the article was a bit more advanced than the usual "twincharging" that people have done. this one at least uses a bypass for the supercharger up high, so in essence you could still keep the supercharger stock to aid in low-end power and replace the turbo for a larger one to make more power on the changeover, but it sounds like it would be a bit odd getting it to changeover right and all that crap.
