Twincharged dual intercooler question

I haven't been able to find any info on this. All the turbo kits require the stock pulley. What if there was a TMIC and a FMIC? This is my plan however im a poor college student. Ive designed what I need and don't see why this wouldnt work with a reduction pulley. Too much boost? maybe. But heat is reduced. any comments on this would be helpful.

Your proposal is to take an already overcomplicated twincharging system and add an additional intercooler? Good luck with that...

If I, personally, were going to go to the effort I would stick with one large front-mount or find someone to build me a custom air-water unit using laminova cores.

JeffS, Got any links or images of what those Laminova cores look like? Heard lots about them, but never seen the core.
TIA

I think one of the reasons for the turbo is to get cooler boost. So why don't you just run more boost from the turbo instead of the supercharger? How much boost do you want?
