Nah, I wish Laughing I was saying that my thoughts on doing a twin charged engine idea had come from VWs TSi jobbie.

I would have thought that although you are driving two turbos and their charge is fed into all four cylinders, you are only using effectively half of the exhaust from the engine to drive each, and thus you couldn't use two 'normal' sized turbos? I could be worng as I know very little about fluid dynamics......cue Panda-man for some mathematics I could attempt to understand??

"They" do say a at least a 6 cylinder engine is best for twin charging setup. A good candidate being a car with an oversized engine for its size.I'm looking into twin charging but i think i'd have to bin the g-larder.
JNL is twin charging a 4 pot isn't he?
Would love to see that one finished.
It's an interesting question anyway.

JNL is indeed doing a G60 twin turbot (see the beginning of this thread). Not sure what turbots he's using.

Interesting project me thinks....
