I just reading about the new BMW going twin turbo and it says that they are using two different turbos, one for low end response and the other for top end, sounds like a good idea to me and was wondering if anyone on here has tried it, as a lot of threads cover turbo results and they are either good for low or top end end performance and this seems a good way to beat the lag beast.

OOpps 330bhp not 166kw (cant seem to edit this out of topic)

Well the closest you will get to a factory car in AU with this setup would be to go and have a look at how the supra's do it. Its probably effective if the car came like that from the factory, but the expense to do it as an aftermarket project would be a bit over the top for the results achieved I would think. This is where people settle for what best suits their driving habits.

Biggest thing I find when you get away from using factory ECU's and such, you're throwing away millions of dollars worth of R&D to lose your economy idle ups and such. Plus then you have blokes that have to work on a non standard car and troubleshoot blindly.

you got it wrong there col. GTR's aren't sequential. Supra's are as well as Legacy B4/GTB's and Cosmo's. Soarers arent. i think RX7's are. and i dont know about GTO or 300ZX but i doubt the V6's work like that.

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
