It's youtube click bait. And the builder (unfortunately IMO) does VERY well on you tube. Shame they didn't use a little more reliable units. Similar to many multiple turbo builds... if the turbos aren't up to snuff, the healthy turbos blow boost out of the unhealthy ones. So he made 700whp with a 2" hole in his cold side. Similar issue on A21bravos triple turbo build. (his was due to his 4 year "hiding" a pry bar in his hot side!) Even if he's not my favorite person to watch, it would have worked ok IMO if he had some decent turbos on there. Hope he gets it going...

Was going to say the same. The whole build is for the you tube channel and get views. He knew like most that it doesn’t work that great, like a good single or twin set up. Like whistling diesel, destroys everything and is making crazy money.

I've been wanting to do an 8-turbo build for a while, but I would've done it way differently.

I don't think he was after numbers or performance, though. I made more power on 17 PSI than he did with 33 PSI on a larger engine. The main difference being that I did all of the math to make sure everything fell in line with where it needed to be.

That being said, I have talked to Kyle on a few occasions. He's pretty much said this was just for fun.

I think his turbos were sized ok, they were just junk. You need all the turbos actively making pressure to prevent leaks in the system. 2 of his turbos barely spun and others were defiantly unhealthy. Instead of fixing the problem they went off on some random stupid intercooler merge theory thinking that would correct the issue. I'll give him an E for effort. There's a lot of it there! But do a little research before spending tons of cash and time on something!
