The 20B comes with an HT12 and an HT15 turbo. The FD has two HT12s. The 20B turbos are bigger. The 13B sequential turbo Cosmo had two HT10s, which are smaller. Still, I don't see much point in adapting the 20B turbos for use on the 13B. You'd have to do a manifold and it would probably end up being just as expensive, more hassle, and less powerful than a good single.

IIRC, the 20B has an HT15 primary and an HT10 secondary.

I haven't heard of anyone doing it.
Too much work and hassle to do it and in the end probably not much of a gain.
It's like replacing the 3rd gen's achillies heel (or at least one of them ) with the same type of thing.
