Yes it was Twincharged with the supercharger reducing lag from the huge turbo. The S4 was only a Group B car and didn't share anything with the HF apart from some body styling and that was only to sell cars, even that was carbon fiber.
Monster of a thing really for the time, still only now really getting cars with as much power. Henri Toivonen said in an interview that they had tested the S4's engine to the extream and with 4.8 - 5 Bar boost it was pushing out 1000bhp now thats pretty good for a 1.8 and in something that only weighed around 900kg
