Is it possible to put a Turbocharger, as well as a supercharger in an RX-8?

I've been shopping around quite a bit looking for a vehicle to purchase after I finish my military training; and the RX-8 looks like its just what i need. The only real question I have is whether or not I can supercharge it, turbocharge it, or if possible twin charge it. I'm new to this site, so please no hate. I'm just curious.

Mod Edit:
Note, this is a 3 year old bump. Please don't go off on the OP, who isn't around any more

Go read https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-major-horsepower-upgrades-93/power-adders-fi-dummies-turbo-supercharger-nitrous-122645/ If you still have questions you can come back and ask.

Also, series II 09+, series I 01-08. I dont believe there are any FI options available for the series II yet.

After all that time spent in the new member area you come out to revive a 3 year old thread?
