If you got the cash, might as well..
Most people will say a single turbo is more than enough, then build the engine and have ALL ZEEPOWER
Unless you plan on making an all out race car with a big ass turbo and a smaller one to get it going?

you'll have better luck, and a lot more money left in your pocket. for pretty much the same numbers, on a single turbo

It was the guy that had his second turbo way back by his trunk, if I recall correctly. That thing never worked right.

You'll get the same answer as on the srtforums. It's just not worth it. You might get the "cool" factor out of it. You can reach goals on a single turbo just fine.

It wasn't IN his trunk. It was under his trunk. Next to the spare tire well. It was where your muffler would be if you had one. I'be seen guys do setups like that with Vettes too. That's a lot of air to move a long way. Must have ridiculous lag.

Was that the same car? I thought that one was super/turbo not turbo/turbo. Sedan wasn't it?

Maybe it's the same car and I'm remembering wrong. I remember something about exploding his muffler and I never figured out where the muffler was actually located if the turbo was sitting there.
