Lightbulb Thinking of a Turbo set up

I was looking at my new car, and I was thinking about a setup. I was thinking that I could get rid of the hose that goes into the turbo and replace it with a hose that has about 5 cone filters on it. and then after the turbo, I could add a few more cone filters, and then put about 3 on the intercooler. This would supply a lot of air to the engine, so wouldn't it be a good plan?

On a side note, I was thinking about getting a true dual exhaust setup. I've heard good things about them and was just wondering what everyone thought?

I'm thinking I could also add some filters on the exhaust to help aleviate exhaust pressure.

So tell us how you're going to go true dual with a turbo engine?&nbsp Are you going twin turbo?!??!??!?!&nbsp Wow, you're ambitious!

I was thinking about having one side of the exhaust going in one end of the turbo, and the other end going out the other. People said that backpressure gives low end torque so that should give me plenty.

from what I've heard the twin scroll OEM single turbo setup is the best with low end torque. Stepping up to a twin turbo setup is the next best thing and a supercharger is the best with flattening/improving the entire powerband.

More air filters the better. Don't forget the blinker fluid, gotta have that injected in there for better shifts.

One problem with the design - the engine will never start.&nbsp You've plumbed incoming exhaust to go into both the inlet and outlet of the turbine side - the exhaust has nowhere to go after it enters the turbo!

lets also not forget that with all those airfilters the turbo is useless,,,tough to build pressure when pseky in line ait filters keep letting the boost out
