go with the single gt42r, you will make plenty of power at far less cost. While the two turbos look cool in the engine bay, there isnt much of a performance gain if there is any at all, and you will have a MESS of turbo manifold piping, wastegates, intercooler piping, etc. Not to mention it takes twice the effort to control boost, twice as many spots for an exhaust leak, and twice as many turbos to rebuild when your motor sh$t$ an apex seal (possibly anyhow). I have a friend with a GT42R, and the turbo is streetable, not to mention he makes pretty serious power.

Hmm, this sequential setup you speak of. If only one existed. Oh wait, isn't that the stock setup?

We could make something like that, but it would be purely for show, and expensive.

There was a forum member who made just such a beast, although I dont' recall exactly which turbos he used. His handle was blk93 or black93 or something like that. A little effort searching should turn it up.

Howard coleman has a white twin t04(i think) in the single turbo section, check it out.

Although; I cant personally justify using two turbos when there are many singles that will get the job done in a more reasonable fashion. But I guess novelty is invaluable.

howard does have a twin T04S setup. he has also invested a LOT of time and money into to get it to the "almost" perfect working stage it is in right now. single would be way easier on your time, budget and stress level.

you are looking for broken93. He used GT25s or 28s not sure. Search for GT25 and broken93. IMO it is easier to just get the BNRs.
