Default Stupid co-worker

I was chit-chatting with some guy at work the other day about modding our trucks. His is a cc nnbs with the 4.8, and he was telling me that he was putting twin-turbo's on it. I inquired as to his set up and he responded with "I'm going with a small turbo and then a big turbo". I asked if he meant a compound turbo set-up to which he replied "no, small one on one bank for faster spool, and the big one for the other bank for higher rpm". I tried telling him that even if he could get it to work, tuning would be a nightmare. I even suggested that he come to this site to do some research, but he's dead set that it'll work for him. So I guess Ron White is correct, you can't fix stupid.

Tuning is going to be easy compared to the alignment!! It's going to want to pull to the side with the smaller turbo under boost!!

No he's from North Dakota. This area of Wyoming is a bit different. With all the gas money, most of the people around here have more money than they can spend. Thus far I've counted 2 Lambo's, 4 Aston's, 3 Lotus elise's and a ton of older restored hot-rods and muscle cars. Yet sadly enough, I still have a broken truck and a stock Camaro. I guess I'll need to rectify that. Been too busy buying guns. I tried to buy my wife a 270win but she said the bullets are too small.

At least someone at your work is into modding. All the guys at my work are older and think I'm dumb for all the money I put into my truck.
