ok, this is going to sound crazy but oh well... i was thinking... i saw that sr20det with the 2 turbos and i thought what if he quaded it..

you can have one turbo going to cyl 1 and 4 and the other turbo going to cyl 2 and 3....

then you put smaller turbos on those two turbos to spool the bigger ones up faster... eh?

would that work?

First off let me say that the most effeicent way would be to stick with one turbo. Now what your saying is have a big turbo then have a smaller turbo down the exhaust track. Would it work? Yes anything can be done. Would it make sense? No. You would have 2 cyliders pushing one large turbo and one small turbo. A turbo can only spin as fast as the air pushing it, so you would have 2 turbo's being pushed by 2 piston's, the piston's are also working harder to push the 2 turbo's because the turbo's are causing restriction on the exhaust flow. So you have a large turbo being powered with 1/2 the airflow it should get then after the exhaust gases past that they need to power another turbo, it's just to ineffecient. Well it's hard to explain, i tried, hope I made alittle sense. I'm not gonna mention about how hard it would be to fit quad turbos under the hood <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>
