Default TWO DIFFERENT TURBOS IN Parallel POSSIBLE

HAS this ever been done? is it possible ? is it possible thru a single inlet and outlet intercooler or would I need a dual inlet?

Wait. I misunderstood the question. Are those two different sized turbos?

You have both turbos running into a Y & then one outlet?

It won't make boost at wot?

That's not a good idea.

from what i hear is that the issue would be the smaller turbo spooling up 1st and forcing it against the bigger turbo . is that correct .

Ok, you are saying "T70". That doesn't mean anything looking at your turbo specs.

What is the wheel sizes on the 2nd one?

You're going to have to contact them to get the specs or take the turbo off & measure it.

You never answered my question of does it make positive manifold pressure at WOT?

Secondly, you have to have the same A/R's.

If the compressor wheels are maybe a couple milimeters different, it may, may, work out somewhat OK providing the exhaust sides are identical. I wouldn't do it that way, ever, but it may work.

Why didn't you order another of the same turbo to begin with?

Need to know the compressor & turbine dims on both.

The big issue is turbine sizing, providing the compressors are even close to the same. That changes airflow & pressures across the side of the engine it is connected to. That requires different fueling & timing.

Like I said. Take it off & measure it or contact the company.

Plus you need to have at most .68 A/R turbine housings unless you have one heck of a high-flowing motor.

well from what i was told since one is a .84 and the other is .96 turbine housing, that these are a big difference and not really close to each other

correct me if i am wrong but the main issue with having 2 different turbos parallel with each other is that the turbo that spools up 1st will push back into the weaker turbo.
