Default Twin (Compound) Charging - Anyone?

Hi people, after reading about so many people turbo-ing their e-series, I was wondering whether anyone has gone completely crazy and fitted some kind of compound supercharging system to their car.

By that I mean one compressor feeding into the inlet of another, be it turbo-turbo, turbo-supercharger, or supercharger-supercharger.

I imagine that there would be enough room in the e-series engine bay if a water-air top mount were used as the final intercooler. With an overly large turbo on the driver side of the engine bay, and a centrifugal supercharger on the passenger side. The intake air would come from a duct similar to the standard duct, but on the other side, through your (insert massively oversized turbo here), out to the front of the car, through a front mount, into the (sane sized centrifugal blower), out of the blower, through water-air intercooler that also turns the air through 180*, and into the throttle.

I would have to have a really close look at my engine bay, but having a look at the CAPA website reveals that their kits are entirely located on the inlet side of the engine bay (if you don't tick the front-mount box), leaving a large amount of room on the exhaust side. The intake path in the pic below could be replaced by a water-air intercooler, which can be designed in pretty much any shape you like, as you can concentrate on the airflow patterns internally without having to worry about the coolant flow as much.



Thoughts?
