Blah. all the noobz heh

Anyways, i don't really see any difference between having a twin turbo setup or a single turbo. You are pushing the same air, and u are using the same exhaust energy to spin them up. If your argument is that 2 smaller turbos are easier to spin up than one big turbo, than think about high rpms, when your small turbos are gonna be overpsinning like mofos, cuz there is much more energy to spin them both. Basicly i think the V type engines use twin turbos for better design and since big turbos are more expensive. If you fuck up one big turbo, u'd have to pay alot more money than if you fuck up a small one. I might be wron on this, so if someone with knowledge can explain, it'd be cool.

Anyways, I don't know why skyline has twins, maybe again for better design (think again of those long exhaust runners. Alot of heat is lost while those suckers get the exhaust gas from the cyllinders to the turbo). But i've heard of a number of twin-turbo cars that were later converted to a single larger turbo.

Sequential though, has much better effect, cuz the first smaller turbo is used to spin up hte larger one. Kinda same thing as using nitrous to spin up a turbo car
