real twin turbos?
anyone ever do this? i know lots of people run compound turbos. i saw a jap car with true twin turbos. it was a straight 6 with a split exhaust manifold running two turbos. cant remember what kind of car it was but has anyone done this with a CTD? it would definatley be different!

Was it a supra?
Twins double the flow, but the pressure ratios stay the same. Compounds keep the flow the same (of the big turbo), but multiply the pressure ratios. Thats benefecial to low rpm engines like ours.

it wasnt a supra. it was a car that is only sold in Japan, he had it shipped here. it was right hand drive and all.
so it would flow more air but at the same PSI as one of them right? so pardon the ignorance but how would this not be good?

I think its an issue of not enough pressure and too much volume. The HX35 was designed to put a max of 35 PSI into an engine with 5-6.5 liters in capacity. It a compound configuration I think it would be fine (being one turbo feeds the other) but in a twin configuration (being both turbo's feed the engine directly) your gonna be putting in 35 psi to a volume of 10-13 liters (volume doubled) but the capacity of your engine is 5.9 liters. So both of your turbos (if you can spin them fast enough) are going to reach their max efficiency pretty quick with each of them not pushing a normal volume of air and your only going to get 35 psi out of them.
Thats my guess anyway.
