hope this is advanced enough. Jordan, or anyone?
i'd seen severeal of these run on 1000+ RWHP cummins diesels and was just curious as to why i've never seen anyone that has done this w/ a gasoline engine. basically what were talking about is say a t-66 or equivelent, thats large on the exhaust side A/R for free flow, that the exhaust side also feeds a t-88 (smaller exhaust a/r) or larger turbo. this in turn blows it's pressurized air back into the inlet side of the smaller turbo, which feeds the intake. kinda like pressurizing a turbo, so it compresses allready pressurized air. the only tricky part would be matching the intake flow requirements of the small turbo w/ the flow charachteristics of the larger, so it never runs out of compressed air.
i feel this would also fairly effectively dissipate more heat from the intake charge. but would the benifits of this system be worth the effort? perhaps this is why?
yes i realize that most setups work with one turbo and work well, but i want to at least know why somone has not attempted this. too complex? too much air? other downsides? any thoughts?
here's some pics if this helps,
