Default LSA Blower and Turbo?!

Wondering if the blower would become a restriction or if this would hammer on the blower to hard......

It would be sweet to have the best of both worlds!

theoretically it will become the restriction, but depending on your power goals, the restriction will be irrelevant and it can work well for you

Yes I know you can get this w one correct Turbo but having the low end trq from the blower I think would be sick

Very bad idea for that power level.

It can definitely work well.

The problem is efficiency. If he removed the blower and ran those turbos at the same 26 PSI, he would likely lose power below ~2300 RPM but gain another 150+ HP up top. You're trading overall efficiency for low end power. A compromise you have to understand. His engine is probably seeing the stress of an engine with another 150 HP as well.

And there is the heat to deal with. He's running two intercoolers and a heat exchanger. If you can get over all of the hurdles, you'll have a fun ride.
