There is a girl in my town that has a RX7 with what I called a 2 step turbo.Off the line it takes off real well then when the car changes to 2nd hold on-that car really takes off. I did not get a real close look at it but it has a valve that opens and lets the extra boost from the 2nd turbo go at a certain RPM.Works really well for launches.

Why not do a compounding boost setup while you're at it. You can have two different sized turbos, but you could possibly get the benefit of more boost. Also you could use step intercooling between the turbos to really cool off the air.

jim this set up if for a huge cubic inch monster that can eat air.
how are you going to keep the larger turbo from over powering the smaller one?
when that valve opens the smaller turbo just lost a huge amount of thrust that the larger turbo is now taking away from it.
