Default what would happen?

lets put a hypothetical question in here. Lets say you have to turbo's one in front of the other in both the intake and exhaust side.

Such as. the exhaust merges into turbo one and after turbo one continues to turbo two. then run the compressed air from turbo one and feed it into the intake of turbo 2 and finally onto the engine.


could it be used to decrese lag?
or what about allowing a higher peak cfm?
Anyone got any ideas?
this could create some wierd torque curves I bet. it could maybe create a non-existant midrange. but incredible low and high end.

What would this due other than look funny?

Common setup on diesel trucks. Unnecessary on a gas motor but they will produce extremely high PSI of boost. An efficient properly sized turbo is all you need to get the job done with little to no lag. Lag is pretty much a thing of the past now days. Turbo technology has come a looonnnnnngggggggg way in just the last 10 years.

I agree, my car gets from vac to full boost in .5-.7 second with a fairly large boost leak. Next time I take it out with that leak closed I suspect I can spool the twins to 9psi in .4-.5

Oh, and they hit 7psi super fast, its that last 2psi that takes the longest.

I remember readin that if you take the compressed air off the outlet of 1 turbo adn put it into the inlet of another turbo you get 3 times the boost. So if turbo 1 puts 15 psi into turbo 2 it will make 45 psi comin outta turbo 2. Obviously that aint necessary in our cars lol. GL

You also have to remember its not all about PSI, if your flowing enough air you will be making more power on less "PSI" than the next car.
