Default sequential twin turbo

Here it is I just finished my rear mount setup on my 03 silverado, boost at ten pounds is amazing..... when I drop to first from a roll. . . . Truck is on 40s w 488 gears. I got to thinkin about having twins, but. Just adding a turbo inline w my properly sized turbo that is much too small for my motor set to say 3 psi wastegated back into the next turbo... stick with same oil pump and run tthrough..

Is this far fetched, too much unknown complication, it seems simple in theory, a turbo aiding a turbo. I think I could find a small turbo cheap and easily..

Any suggestions, anyone done this. Let me know what you think

There's several different ways to do it. I'd do a custom design, but that's just me

We do it all the time on Diesels. You get alot of boost, More than a gas job could handle. If you where to blow it all off or waste gate it I don't see the benifit from it.

It's still going back together. This setup won't have a problem reaching 60lbs of boost!!!!!!!!!

I guess I was not to clear on the reaon why I wanted to do this. The gears are not properly sized for the tires, it has good power just not as if it were stock. In boost, well as we know boost does amazin things. I want tire shreadin power when i hit the gas , not havin to drop a gear from a roll, the idea is not for more, just want instant. Would overheating the smaller turbo be an issue, could I run the oil for both off one pump, anyone have good suggestions for a turbo, or a what types of older cars would have one that I could find for a decent pricee. Id change the gears but just did them and I think doin this setup would make it that much more unique.

Adding a turbo in line with your current turbo is compound boost, not sequential boost..

What size motor? Sounds to me like you should build the motor for a little more torque. Rolling 40" tires is not an easy task, sucks up alot of power.

Why don't you just get a good boost controller, and turn it up a couple of psi. If your turbo is sized perfectly like you say it should probably handle 12# instead of 10#. What size is your turbo/engine?
