[s-cars] What about a sequential turbo

[Chris Covington]

Why not just disconnect the turbo all together if you're going to get a
blower?  You'd then have equal boost at all RPMs, given a Roots-type
blower and not a centrifugal (Vortech, ATI, Paxton) type.  Or is it better
to have more boost at high RPMs and lower boost at low RPMs (which is how
I'd imagine a supercharged and turbocharged engine)?

Also, is it easier to implement sequential turbos (low + high) ala RX7 vs.
super+turbo?
