the one thing i havent really understood though is how on a twin turbo setup like this is that wouldn't the boost pressure being created by the first turbo escape through the other turbo while the other turbo is waiting to recieve the exhaust pressure? that might be a noob question but im just not familiar with twin setups. the only way i can think to stop that would be with some type of check valve setup or some kind of valve that would open at a certain amount of boost being reached.

soooo how about this one. lol. (im bored)
I have been toying with this idea for years. the first turbo is something small ohh i dunno... maybe a 57trim 60-1 or something.
the big turbo is something stupid like a 88mm blowzilla...
the small turbo charge air feeds the hotside of the 88mm blowzilla and spools it. the 88mm turbo actually feeds air to the intake manifold and into the motor.
i may be totally wrong but its fun to think that the huge turbo would spool much faster using the 35, 30, what ever psi of charge air from the smaller turbo to spool it. hell i guess you wouldnt even need a Waste gate on the small turbo.... just it it spool what ever it will make.... lol

Isn't that second pic just a "compounding turbo" system?
There's really more efficient ways of stuffing two turbos onto a 13B...
In fact, I think the best design is the simpliest.
Think about it...
One turbo per exhaust port?

you might as well do your set up like this. the bigger turbo would spool faster

another set-up that i thought would be cool was if a turbo was set up with a pulley on the front. but also have something like the clutch on a starter so at idle you could get boost so it wouldnt lag so much and then once you hit a certain rpm the turbo would spool up more and give you more boost. eliminating lag. kinda like a superturbocharger
