Twincharging
I have yet to hear of anyone doing it and its probably not even worth it but how would a 2.0 handle being twincharged with the factory turbo and an aftermarket supercharger? I know fuel, clutch, and tuning would be a huge factor for it to maybe work but it would be a unique build that would peak a lot of peoples interest Im sure.

Actually "twincharging" is a term coined specific to use of a turbo fed supercharger.
The reason no one does this is cost. The super will cost 5k+ for a propper one, and will run very low boost. In order for the setup to be truly effective the entire internals of the motor have to reinforced/hardened something serious. Keep in mind the boost output by the turbo will be multiplied by the boost on the super, that's a hell of a lot of boost!! And a hell of a lot of money invested. Theres much more to it than just fuel and clutch.
