can you have a supercharger and twin turbo on a 350z?

YES
but pointless
it will only boost as high as the highest boost
simply 14lb tt + 9lb vortech dosnt = 33lb of boost
it = 14lb of boost or even less
think about it this way.... ur air is like trafic and boost is the speed limit.
if a car going 14mph hits a car going 9mph how fast will the 2nd car go after impact? it cant go faster than 14mph.
also works oppositly if 9mph car hits a 14mph car (theory) it will only ever go 14mph or less but it be less damage on the 14mph car. like its only a 5mph colision instead of a 14mph colision basically puting less stress on the blower

there are sequenchal TT setups like the supras and rx7's i beleive..... they work like this.....
2 turbos, one small one big one boosts like 14lb and another 24lb
the only reason for this setup is that the 14lb (14mph car) builds boost/spools faster, delivering a better power curve to the power band. basically the small turbo works in low range rpm and the bigger turbo takes over in the top end. giving it a great power band. hence bigger single turbo cars take way longer to reach their power level and spool up.
now you can do a TT setup into a vortech or something, but in superchargers generally its hard to get high amounts of boost for example there are tons of problems to even get 14lb out of a vortech, compared to turning a *** on a TT setup so your TT setup has to be less than 14lb, but the time it takes to spool up, the supercharger is already spooled..... hence why some ppl like superchargers over turbos.
In the end I would just get supercharger + nitrous, or a good TT setup

if you all are just fooling with me...... and come up with stupid questions im just going to move alonge

yeah.

were not fooling especially me. i know nothing about cars but im learning.

with the right amount of money its possible.
Get a twin srew type sc thatll mount on top of the plenum and couple it with a greddy tt kit and youll be good to go. A stillen would boost 8psi throughout the rpm band and the greddy would kick in at around 3500rpm.
tuning it and making it work will be a pita, but its possible. Set aside 30k for a project like this. Might as well build the motor, spend 10k + on parts and a ton on labor.

Usually its a blown thru turbo when people set it up. Yes its possible, a tuning and plumbing nightmare.
