Default Turbo & Supercharger....

I have a 99 Integra GSR. The only things that have been done are cold air and fuel/air controller. It is a VTEC of course. Can A trubocharger and Supercharger be put on consecutively?

It's useless, what a bad idea. Never do it, think about getting one, not both. I'd opt for the turbo rather than the sc.

Unfortunately, JR superchargers are known to wear out over time, leak oil, crack, etcetera. Although, I've heard lots of good about them. I just know a stock SC isn't going to make the most power for you, although it may be easier than a custom turbo.

its has been done. In fact, its quite common on g1 mr2's (the call it "twincharged"). But its a complicated and often finicky combination... not exacltly what you'd call reliable. I've also never heard of the combination producing nearly as much power as a apropriately-sized turbo setup.

Go turbo-superchargers are less effecient than turbos, which means you cannot get as much boost from a supercharger than from a turbo. My advice is to do your homework on turbocharging and build your own kit-which will cost you around 1/3 of the price than if you bought a pre-fabbed kit.
