Default asking all turbo gurus

Now i'm not a new member but i am new to turbos and imports in general, so excuse my ignorence supercharged V8's was my thing but thats in the past.
i'm thinking of twincharging my car i love the instant boost of my supercharger but an sc300 has to be turbo or nothing right, well i have a vortec supercharger in my garage from when i had my truck, and i just ordered a gte botton end from elmurst toyota, and i decided to use the ge heads, " my motor is dead"
now i'm looking at my turbo options and i'm pretty much lost in all the mombo jumbo.
these are just a few turbos that i was told are good for what i am doing, sp66, sp70, T66, T78, T88H,
i am really excited about the T88H and the vortec, lag will be minimal because of the vortec and a mid to top end that shoud put a corvette to shame, but this is just me thinking out loud, this is why i'm here asking if there is something wrong with this setup, or if my mine is way ahead of reality.

I'm kinda confused as to what your question is, perhaps whats the best turbo size for your application? Supercharged vs. turbocharging a SC3? Where in Fla are you?

i'm in f.t lauderdale where are you?


and also i was actually asking if anyone here ever twincharged there car, and also will a supercharger and a T88 be a good match or do i need a smaller turbo, i think the supercharger should get the T88 spinning fast enough to get to the full potential of the turbo before the rpm band runs out, but then again i never had a turbo car so i'm not sure.

I know the owner of the site supras.nl is doing a Mk2 supra with a twincharged Mk4 engine in it at this moment.
Maybe you should contact him.
