I agree, i guess being different is more important actual power. I think its a cool car but not very practical.

Turbos = great up high.
One giant turbo = no low boost, period, but he would definately hit his power goal.
Combining the supercharger with the turbos is great because it gives a nice even powerband. The supercharger provides boost until the turbo makes enough to take over, and because the car is on boost, the 2 turbos will spool earlier than they would as just a twin setup by themselves. Some pretty tyte shit there, but I don't really like that 90 degree turn going into the throttle body.
Hell, BMW has some sort of car (I can't remember if its a diesel or petrol engine, though) that does a supercharger + turbo combo and according to Top Gear, it drives fantasticly.
When I do my FMIC setup, I'd like my air filter to be up in the scoop like that.
