if one were to fab a twin kit remote style, if you were to use 1 small turbo and 1 large turbo, would that significantly reduce the lag? or would that have an adverse effect on the smaller turbo once the larger one spooled up?
theoretically.

 

Thats how the New ford diesels are set up, inline turbos. I have always wonder this. It may work as long as your first turbo isn't so small that it will rob the larger turbo at higher rpm or at full boost.

 

i wasn't thinking inline, each turbo would be on its own exhaust

 

Are you saying run a small turbo off one bank and a large turbo off the other bank?

 

thats exactly what i'm saying. i don't know how well it would work or if its even feasible, just something i was thinking about

 

I dont think it would work due to the difference in the pressure on each bank. I am not an expert so I cant say for sure.

 

you would have differnt "spool" times... i dont think it will work.. just get 2 of the exact size...

 

i understand the spool times would be different, thats the concept behind it, the smaller turbo would spool first giving early boost, then the bigger turbo would put up the grunt once it spooled. but i don't know much about this sorta thing. what would the problem/s be?

 

if you split the exhaust like that you would only have 4 cylinders powering each turbo and that would never spool and then suddenly all at once, i see a risk of seriously damaging your engine.

just run a properly sized turbo and you'll never wipe the goofy smile off your face

 

roger that. serious damage is something i don't really care to have. thanks for crushing that dream appropriatley guys.
