    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.

    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 gates
    just 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
