Would there be any point in running a turbo and throttle bodies together?
Ignoring the extra work to build it, and the extra work to make it run right, would there be any real gains in terms of throttle response or fuelling accuracy, or is it really not worth the effort?

Check out @mr._mattman on Instagram... he's done exactly this. Most people don't bother because it's not really worth the hassle of setting it all up for what I understand are minimal gains, but I bet it sounds incredible

it'll give you better throttle response but.. won't make that much difference in total with a trubro. Probably smarter to use a bigger throttle (skunk2 make one - not that expensive!) and forget about the ITBs. Spend the ITB money on better rods and pistons and TAHBO bits.

Or ditch the heat making boat anchor snail and revel in N/A tuning nirvana with the ITBs

The money is not the issue, I reckon I could get ITBs on a turbo setup for about £150, it's wether there is any gains to be had from doing it.
If throttle response is better by a noticeable amount or there's a few horses to be had then would be worth it, but if the boost pressure negates the gains I won't bother.

Pretty sure F1 used ITBs and turbos before, also a TB pre turbo. They wouldn't bother if there weren't gains. But I'd imagine that's all about response though. If you're going to do it, go all out and get some slide TBs made
