What is the difference between a twin turbo and a supercharger?

The term "twin" on twin turbo simply means there are two turbos on the engine.
Both turbos and superchargers compress air into the intake manifold of the engine.
A supercharger uses a belt connected to the engine to turn the compressor.
A turbo uses exhaust pressure (which would otherwise be wasted) to spin a turbine attached to the compressor.
Superchargers tend to offer slightly better performance, but they decrease fuel economy significantly, however you drive.
Turbos do not affect fuel economy at all when you aren't using them, and can even improve highway fuel economy.
The main advantage of a supercharger is that it works no matter what the engine speed is. A turbo doesn't add much power until the engine is spinning faster than 4000 RPM or so. This does feel natural however, since you feel more power when the engine gets louder. And in a stick shift, there is no good reason why you cant simply downshift to get the engine in the turbo "sweet spot"

Can you mount both a turbo and a supercharger?
Yes, There's even some with a supercharger and twin turbos. A "supercharger" is anything the increases the airflow into an engine above atmospheric, there for a turbo and a blower are both types of "superchargers". There are many applications of both turbo's and Blowers on the same engine and any combination of multiple of both, I.e. @ turbo chargers and 2 blowers or a blower and quad turbo's etc etc.
How fast can a mustang 2001 go with twin turbos twin superchargers and airintakes?
You wouldn't twin turbo AND twin supercharger... mustangs a: lack the space and B. it would be a waste of money. A twin turbo mustang 4.6L (im asumming) on a mild setup Twin turboed with traction- mid 11's/high 10's. The only twin supercharger setup I've seen is a dual whipple, but that was only used on large big blocks. A supercharger would run around the same #s with the same boost(fuel/intercooler dependant).
Can You Super Turbo Charge An Engine?
Yes, it is called twin charging. I believe it is possible due to the fact a turbo runs off the exhaust while a supercharger is belt driven.
Can you have a twin turbo and a supercharger in a car?
Volkswagon offered a Golf GT in Europe that was known as a twincharger. It featured a centrifugal supercharger designed for low-end torque and a turbocharger. The supercharger provided extra torque for low RPM performance and the turbo activated at higher RPMs. It was supposedly capable of running 130+ MPH while still maintaining 39 MPG.
