From what I have seen of the number of turbo kits for the EP, they pretty much attach to the exhaust side of the engine (rear).

The JRSC installs on the the intake portion (front).

Is it possible to have a supercharger and a turbo installed at the same time on the EP since the turbo and the sc looks like they can co-exist?

Would the electronic portions of the kits interfere with each other?

it is possible (and has been done before) to have both a supercharger and turbocharger on a engine. However, it is does not yield twice as much horsepower as some may think. The idea is that the supercharger gives your the instant boost and helps get the large turbo spinning. Once the turbo is going ideally you would want the supercharger quit spinning (no parasitic drag) but typically you can only "blow off" the air from the supercharger

It is completely unnecessary and a waste of money. You can only cramp some much air through your engine therefore having both systems on is really overkill.

as far as electronics go. it is best to not run piggy back systems ie. SAFC, VAFC, FMU's, black boxes, map controllers, smc's. and go with a full standalone computer, AEM EMS, Hondata (not a flash), Haltech.
