Yes, but it wouldn't be worth the weight, difficulty, and cost. I guess it would look neat in a show car, though. It's probably a better idea just to weld 3 chromed junkyard turbos onto a show car, tow it to the show, and have everybody drool over it (show cars don't need to actually work).

Attached is a pic of the Axia FD with a 3-turbo 3-rotor engine.

There have been a couple of tri-turbo supras, too. No point, except that "tri-turbo" sounds cool.

it makes sense on a 3 rotor though, 1 per rotor. makes more sense than twins cause the second rotor's runner would have to split in half and connect w/ the 1st and 3rd runner. 3 turbos would be simpler.

A single turbo makes more sense and is more simple, while no turbo is the most simple.
