I wonder how long it would take before it went pop,

love the sticker bellow boost gauge very Knight rider ish

awsome

 

but, why does it need uprated turbo's to hit 200 bhp? 200 is suppost to be very easy to acheive with a t3?

 

also isnt the rear turbo sucking in VERY hot air from the turbo infront, the last thing you want?

 

i also think he needs a set of 152 weber 45's too

o and surly standard EFI injection with extra injectors ould be tonnes better (proably better than the 152's aswell)

 

will be interesting to see what it goes for

Thats what I thought at first. But if you look, he's ran an air ducting pipe to feed air to both turbo's.

 

Not really sure what the benifits of the two turbo set up are. It's still kinda interesting though

Skylines run a similar layout too.

Many years ago, approx 1991, there was a Saph Cossie at the RS nat day at Donnington also with a similar set up. I'll see if I can find the pics

 

 

 

(edit) Just realized at 3.30am what i'd typed here. That air ducting pipe to both turbo's is the bloody boost pipe!!

Evidence there of the long day i had yesterday

i belive the basic idea of running 2 turbo is so you dont get any lagg, you have one small turbo which spins up quick then a larger turbo to take over when the first runs out of boost
