Funny, HKS used to make a twincharge kit for my motor (Toyota 4AGZE). I think it sold for something like $5000. They're VERY rare.

Unfortunately, the SC12 ain't the greatest. What with it's SEAL-LESS design

hks and meguiars did that twin-charged type-r a long time ago.
it made over 400 hp on a stock b18c5 motor. i think the only change was that the pistons were coated with something.

I don't like it, i've heard of this set-up before and honestly, i'm not impressed with the results. Is removing the lag worth the hastle and parasitic drag of the supercharger in high RPMs?

Some Volvo Penta marine engines come twincharged from the factory, and the supercharger has an electromagnetic clutch. When you push up the accelerator it clutches the supercharger in for a couple of seconds and then releases it and lets the turbo make all the power

all newer benz have that too ( s/C clutch thingy ), but that doesn't by pass the rotors of the blower... The turbo still has to push air past the S/C.
