Default Pushing the envelope

So, the rear mount twins are getting close, but as the ic pipe is about to be completed...I had a brain fart that smelled funky. What if I ALSO put on a D1 pro-charger. I get the pro-charged boost and the sts stlye twin turbo boost...how would the charged air fight each other if I pumped them all to the same intercooler?
What am I missing...
This is starting to become interesting again.

I would think the extra hp loss on the crank isnt worth it.

I think you would want to feed the boost into the procharger from the turbos if you were to use both.

I'd thought about doing this on my truck by running the STS as well as the D1-SC but I think it'd be a tad bit of overkill, plus for the boost it'd end up running I don't want to deal with having to build my motor to take it right now.

yeah youd have to feed the blower into the turbos...however i doubt it will be worth the money. id rather invest that kinda cash in afr heads or a solid roller setup...or even in like thirty 55 gallon jugs of 112 unleaded

the only reason to do it is the "cool factor"

tuning would be tough, and extra piping rediculous

I get the point guys, told you it was a fart of sorts. Chance are that I'll run this system for 05 and do something different for 06... Its just too much fun to design... when a job gets anywhere near completion, I get off onto a tangent. Gotta stop that.

Yeah, but it wouldn't be too efficiant with a D1 into 1 outlet and twin turbos into the other, pressure should be equal on both sides (or close)

I have that type of IC, could make an aluminum collector and put all into 1 then split to 2. Blower might help scavenge the turbo air
Nevermind, I have a headache.
