I'm just tryin to give the facts on compound charging.. Too many guys get it wrong.
Of course it's for the entire range?????? You can't shut off turbos?????? The turbos are not limited by crank speed so they can continue making boosts after the supercharger can't anymore????? Yes, the supercharger fills the low end void whilst the turbos come into their own??? Not sure what is wrong about that????
