Have you had your nitro motor apart? Do you understand how the ports work? Turboing one is pointless along with supercharging. Either just get a better motor, send yours out for porting or even port it yourself. I always ported to stock junk engines that came in trucks and the gains a great, but the engine die even sooner than normal.

Whoever had the supercharged truck, did you ever take the charger apart? I want to know what kind of pump is inside it.

i would think you would want the turbo after the expansion chamber so you would still have the "tuned exhaust effect" wheres whitey. he is the only person i know of that has turboed a 2 stroke (i know there are lots more, but he is the only one i know of)

rawr said it.... enough said you would want to draw through the card or setup a bleed line off of the turbo/superchanger in order to pressurize the fuel tank...the exhaust already does that on nitro cars...but i don't imagine it's a substantial amount of pressure
