Guys you may have already come across this, but thought I would post the link anyway. This guy went twin turbo and kept the supercharger.

Wow!!!!!! Erick and Jerry, you guys are amazing 
I can't tell you how excited I am right now. In fact, I still can't believe I'm reading this: A Twin Turbo C32 
Now that's what I call a fun project. And to top it off, two of the most respected car enthusiasts forum members are leading this project
I've been chasing this twin turbo "dream" ever since I first got my C32, and now you guys make it a reality........
I may just have to pick up another C32 pretty soon now 
Oh, and not only you've raised the C32 price around the nation, once the car is out, you'll probably have caused a drop in C63 sales as well

i talked to Vadim today, he gave me some great input and we will definitely be using his knowledge base to consult on this project...

I found this quote from the article interesting, given they bumped power to roughly 500hp and massive amounts of torque as well:
Steve talked us through some of the modifications: "We had the policy that if it ain't broke, don't fix it, so there was no point making changes to the chassis, suspension and brakes.

OK, here is an update...
what we are going to try initially is to leave the blower intact and just blow through it...we might even go as far as putting an underdrive pulley on the car to turn down the boost on the blower and use the turbos to compensate for the extra boost needed...
the less we have to drive the blower, the less hp is used to drive the blower...
we have a couple of things that we will try once we get the turbos on the car...tuning will be the fun part!
this is getting interesting already...

Wow, I haven't been looking at these forums lately, but Erick, you're my hero.
You'll probably need a new map sensor, maybe 3 bar, depending on how much more boost those turbos make than the supercharger. Probably a new engine computer or piggy back system as well for the fuel maps, and an upgrade to the fuel and ignition system.
Remember, BSP/Mohamad Ben Sulayem put a twincharged system on his C32.
