Thought this was interesting. Don't think I saw it posted anywhere here.

It's not compound. It's similar to running parallel twins as far as the compressor side. I don't see where the gains are going to come from compared to just running a larger wheel. I've been tossing the idea around for years as far as compounding within one turbo. This dual compressor wheel back to back has crossed my mind a few times, but I can't figure out a good way to route the compressed air to the inlet of the second wheel. At least not one that doesn't have a very large, ugly compressor cover.
beauty is in the eye of the beholder 
I dont think the gains are any different, just torque coming on faster. My guess is if the turbo was k04 size, it wouldnt be a big benefit... but if it were s252 sized or K04-gt28 hybrid, or 5556 it would benefit. It would cut back on the amount of time needed to build boost. Obviously you cant apply this mod to an existing turbo but I see this being a pretty cool engineering feat. Does this mean there is more potentional for it to break though?

I'd still like to know how the intake on this turbo would look with 2 separate inlets...
