Re: 4g63 twin turbo.....kinda

Not sure I'd call it compound turbocharging so much as a sequential twin-turbocharged setup. AMS killed their project (that pic is from before the 1000hp on 100octane challange) due to time constraints. Would be very interesting to see one in action, but in reality I think it's gonna be a huge PITA and super unreliable. More than double the parts to break, and furthermore, the big turbo will *always* be restricted in the amount it can flow due to the small turbo's turbine wheel always being in the way of exhaust gas flow.

Still, neat. Post updates as they occur!
