Default Interesting thought... tripple turbo?

Not like its super efficient or anything but mainly for bling factor... couldnt you do a twin turbo setup and have a rear mount get mixed in to the setup either like through a compound induction setup or something? Maybe have them kick in boost quickly and have a larger single that helps for power on the top end.

not enough bling in a 408/t6 combo?? Id say your car makes more than enough power for it to NOT have 3 turbos.

seems like a nice twin will give you bling, but then the remount will cancel it out. so in the end you have an ls1.
