Almost nobody combines turbos and superchargers. Turbos have lag, and superchargers don't. Either system can be geared to produce the boost pressure you want. Turbos heat up a lot and need hardware for oil cooling. They both add weight to the front end of the car; so it's more efficient to get the desired boost using the minimum hardware where possible.
Nitrous is cheap and easy, but overdo it and you blow your motor. You need your Fuel to Air ratio not to get messed up with the nitrous such that your engine runs too lean, meaning you may need an extra set of injectors.
Meanwhile, your pistons and rings, connecting rods, main bearings, crankshaft and other internals may not have been designed to handle 50%-100% more explosive force, along with associated inertial resistance.

Aside from the cost and impracticability, it probably wouldn't work because of the different types of pistons for each application. A turbo will run better with higher compression, 10:1 or better; supercharging requires 7:1-8:1. A supercharger will feed the engine quicker, while a turbo needs to "spool up"

It's possible. There are diesel engines in large vehicles like busses that use both a super and turbo charger. Theres really no need for it though in a car b/c a single turbo or supercharger is capable of putting out all the psi your engine will be able to handle.

You wouldn't be able to really use two types of forced induction (supercharger and turbo). You should be able to get more than enough air pressure for either (or even a single turbo). You can add nitrous to either system (but it better be a bulletproof motor or you will be walking home).

Ever study automotive mechanics? Let me help explain this to you as to why you'll blow yourself up. A supercharger takes the excess exhaust and forces it back into the cylinder during the intake stroke. This equals a higher and hotter compression ratio. NO2 is already highly pressurized as well as explosive. Almost as bad as tri nitro taluin(TNT), only in a gas form. If you were to be stupid enough to do this even with a regular stock engine, you'd blow the just the head or heads off through the top of the hood if you are lucky. If you did this on a high compression engine, well, we might be able to identify your remains form the explosion form dental records if the blast left you with a head, otherwise DNA would need to be used for positive identification.

You could but why. Unless you have a pit crew that repairs your car for you when you destroy it. Remember, a street car with all those after market engine components would have a short life span. Plus, you can't just add things to one side of an engine (ie the intake side) and neglect the other side (exhaust side). You could, but it's not good. You want a car you can enjoy for a long time. A car that don't cost you alot of money in tickets and repairs and is drivable. Get a nice V8. Lots of power, they last long and are fun. Don't lean on it too hard and you may not get to many tickets.

I'm no professional mechanic or whatever but i know there is a lot of room for error with nitrous and you should be very careful with whatever project you are working on. if i knew what engine you were working with i could tell you if it would be a good idea to try and give it more power. but there is a 90% chance if you do this wrong you will at least blow a piston ring at most blow up your car. Good luck and hopefully at the end of the day you can still count to ten.

Yes it can be done, I saw in a Chevy High Performance magazine, it's a crazy look.

yes it is possible but you have to fit the 13B REW to a 3rd gen Mazda RX7 chassis.
