They use compound turbos. If you think in pressure ratios instead of boost, it is easier to figure. If the first turbo is running 3:1 pressure ratio (@30psig, 45psia) and the 2nd one also runs 3:1 you get 90psig.

At the track by my house most snow mobiles run 8's-9's. I saw a few run 7's. A lot of them spray, lol, those things are sick.

Just for giggles: What kind of power are we talking at 175-200psi on Diesel?

2400*?! That's almost hot enough to liquify iron. You guys use alot of inconel on these things?

2500+hp. The pistons are cut....AL skirt, steel crown, and C-rings used. Inconel is used on the turbine wheels.

For my own morbid curiosity because this stuff is insane?

Do you run the larger turbo first in the series or second?
Anybody use multistage axial compressors instead of just the centripital?
