Why can't you try TURBO and SUPERCHARGE combo and get over it , it was done many ago by Lancia on the WRC in the 1980s , they did make it work then , why not now ?

On the RX kit, yes, the Borg Warner EFR's are the deluxe system turbos. Until they are available again we are using other premium ceramic ball bearing units.

Boosted 4cyl cars nowadays allow for "no lift shifting" or shifting without taking your foot off the gas. ie no boost loss. an example of it:
