Sequential would be in sequence. 1 then 2

Together at the same time is parallel.

That shoudl be some good HP numbers if you can get it going.

i am a licenced welder so i should be alright with the fabrication but the deal with the seqeuntial thing is that i did not know which way seqeuntial ran it is actually the parralel way where they run at the same time

also try to consider this once you get it running, (notice the optimism?!?!? ) running twin turbos NON-SEQUENTIALLY will give you more turbo lag than running SEQUENTIALLY.

Sorry, I meant it shouldn't be too hard to fab all of the stuff. Also, what are you going to do about the clearance for the downpipe and the intercooler piping, etc? I think if you are serious about the project, have the time and money to invest, and stay serious, you can get it done. The reason nobody else, that I atleast no of, have finished something like this is b/c the end up giving up half way through the project. I wish you luck, and remember to STAY MOTIVATED.

I am involved in a project too. I haven't driven my FC in about 3 months now (I sold the NA motor and tranny b/c I was supposed to do the swap a while ago) . But, I just try and keep myself motivated. Now, I am begging my project (the hard thing for me is to get started b/c I have so much stuff going on like work and college, etc) and I am going keep going at it until everything I want done is complete, or I run out of money... which ever happens first. lol. Well, I'm at work and I'm rambling b/c I'm bored. I will stop boring you guys now. Later.

Aren't the compressor and trubine blade pairs not the same between the two turbos? So if that was set up none sequential some how one rotor would be driving a bigger turbo than the other. Good thing it's sequential but seems like a lot of work for the medium performance of even the best sequentials.

Twin parallel turbos would be trick but expensive.

Nah, it's the 13B-RE that use different primary and secondary turbine designs. The REW (primary and secondary turbo's) uses the same design and geometry.
