It will go faster without the plastic bags over the turbos you know

They are like ugly women, the really ugly ones you need to double bag incase one falls off.

How laggy are the turbos with just 3cyls and c.1650cc a side to run them?

Do you run any kind of non-return valving in the piping from the intercooler or the turbo to throttle bodies?

Its not the same as two 1650cc engines as the crank has momentum from the other banks previous cycle. Also the manifold length is 10-12inches lone not 40inches like standard impreza.

Spool better than a 2litre with one of the same turbos.

One way valves? You been drinking smilewink

I've seen some wacky setups for different applications, some industrial, using twin or multiple turbos with non-return valves to stop reverse airflow/compressor stall or pressure losses should a turbo malfunction and stop producing boost. Not been drinking, i haven't touched alcohol in years. wink

Good to know the TT setup works as well as a single turbo. I'm going to start a new project on mine to run two small TT's. Different ball game though with just two exhaust outlets per turbo. Not sure how well it will work.

Running turbos in series is very different.

In reality for drag racing launch off the line a 5000rpm and 1bar of boost, using flatshift change gear with throttle fully open up through the box you never drop below 6000rpm.
For sprint or track you drive around it.
You can ise nos to spool turbos nicely but no needs unless turbos v large.

On the old turbos at 1.6bar it was pretty mental.

The advantage I can see fitting two small turbos to a flat4 is the cost of turbos. I would struggle to fit 1200hp's worth of turbos in one big turbo due to the size of the turbo, hence tt works well.

I was going to run a parallel setup like yourself. Had this in mind to do for the last 2-3yrs but going to start in anger now.

Remapped both the turbos off the car on their new cars yesterday. Both at around 1.5bar made 402 and 410 on vpower. So in theory my 1.7bar on 20meth was well into 800s wink

Looks like you're going for the magic 1000. Look forward to seeing it in action.

If i remember correctly you mentioned some time back in this thread you're not a fan of PPG internals, what have you used instead?
