Single + 2? ^-^
I know this is a singles only forum and all. But heck there is no dual or tri so what am I to do? Was just wondering, but since the tri 20B is possible, how come I rarely see anybody do it? besides the fact that it isn't cost effective. Can't you shove 3 T-78's on that puppy or anything? Or is lag a major issue here? Actually what factors are important to consider here...guess that about sums it up. Shouldn't be be much of a problem for you Rotorheads to answer .

I believe the reason why you see no one doing it is, a. not many people on the forum have 20b's b. tri-turbo is complicated to fit into an engine bay. So alot of people just say screw it and go with one big single. Dual turbo would a little easier than tri-turbo to setup I think, but still alot of engineering involved in making the manifold, and getting it to fit, etc. I think turbostreetfighter was working on a dual turbo set up using 2 20g turbos for 13b's though.

Hmm I guess that makes sense. But assuming that it is possible, what kind of power output are we tlaking about here? And also if you could put any 3 turbos that you wanted (guaranteeing that it would fit in the bay) whoch ones would they be?

First, go do your homework on turbo - you got no clue on what works and what doesn't.  Trying to fit the biggest turbo you can get your hands on isn't going to work.
Trying to get the plumbing down for 3 turbos with a 20B is a nightmare.  See the pics in another thread for the Axia FD.  The one big problem is that the lowest turbo is positioned way too low for proper gravity drain of the oil outlet from the CHRA; what does this mean?  That turbo is either going to smoke or blow up due to insufficient drain.  Unless you drop BIG BUCKS for a custom sump drain from the turbos, the design is super tricky to install.
Two turbos on a 20B is not bad, but 3 is not easy to pull-off...
