Well that's different. Willing to share more info? Also wouldn't it work better if the 2 smaller turbos fed the larger turbo?

Is this a troll post or is this actually your car? Interesting to say the least.

Should be fun to tune. I see you are still using the mass air.

Too bad they don't make an 18" cowl induction hood for 240's. Looks like you might have a little boost leak there.

Gtx2860r's, with a Chinese 80mm borg knock off, cammed/dual springs. Thought I'd try something different. Had 2 ebay t3/t4s on it making almost 650, but pulled it to re-ring it and then, and then and then.......
Usually in a compound setup, the big one feeds the little, the big one will still flow more than both the small ones.

It's my daily. Need to tune it for the big guy, but last couple days Ive been just cruising around in it on fresh rings to check for any simple problems before big boost, leaks mostly.

That's the tuner's problem, haha! Mafs is there just as a coupler (I'm cheap and lazy)

What the hell.....

One big turbo is force feeding two smaller turbos???? But the two smaller turbos have to spool up first so the big turbo can spool....correct...???

Thats some funny ****. Seems like forcing air into the two smaller turbos will cause the problem...no...?

And whats with the picture of a truck on your fender for...LOL...?

No build thread. Pics are mostly all the same unless theres something specific you wanna see.

It's a vs racing turbo. I'd link it, but I hear you get in trouble 'round here for linking non sponsors (I don't know if they are a sponsor or not, and I'm too lazy to look)

Thanks. I actually run a VS S480, but the compressor cover didn’t look like that is why I asked. Looks fun! What’s the goal for the car power wise?

Weird, don't know why they are different. Should be the same turbo. As far as power, I dunno, whatever the 78lb injectors get me I guess(I'm out of budget for this build).
