Twincharging???
I know basically what twincharging is but how does it work? Also, how do you set one up?

I'm far from the turbo expert, but I'll try to help. I hope we're on the same page, because twincharging to me means using two smaller turbos on a motor instead of one larger one. The advantage would be a faster spool-up of the rotating assembly and quicker response to your instructions via your right foot.
Current thinking is to use two turbos on a blow-through installation, where you use a modified Holley carb with an aluminum diecast bonnet at the carb inlet and blow dry air into the carb.PLANET EARTH, INSANE ASYLUM FOR THE UNIVERSE.

seems like a kind of complicated way to get rid of turbo lag ?

not really that complicated, you use a smaller turbo that spools up fast but only boosts to a smaller degree and then the secondary larger one that spools up at a higher rpm but boosts much harder... its all about properly controlling your waste gatesjust because your car is faster, doesn't mean i cant outdrive you... give me a curvy mountain road and i'll beat you any day

Sorry for your loss of friend Mike McGee, Shine. Great trans men are few and far between, it seems. Sadly, Mike Frade was only 66 and had been talking about retirement for ten years that I know...
