Twin Turbo Setup

Any of you guys ever thought about a twin turbo setup for a 7.3? Getting ready to attempt to design a system that is twin turbo (non-wastegated) pushing between 30 to ??lbs of boost. With a 316L Stainless Steel exhaust manifods, stainless steel intake for the IDI diesels. Im getting ready to rebuild my motor to take up to 65lbs of boost on a 7.3L IDI. Let me hear your thoughts!

A twin turbo setup is really a waste when you think about it. You can buy a single turbo that can put out that much boost. David Lott's truck comes to mind.

The better idea of two turbos is as a compound setup. One enormous turbo for high air flow, and a smaller turbo for quick spool at low rpm's to minimize turbo lag caused by using a larger unit. This simply makes the truck streetable, but has no real benefit when racing.

I've thought about it, but never actually figured on doing it. Me and my buddy figured that would be the only way to justify dual stacks. Let us know how it comes out for you.

????????????


if you called banks with a question about dodge parts 10 years ago, the answer you got was "we don't do dodge" and then they hung up on you.
banks only started with the dodge parts a few years ago. for over 30 years, banks was strictly ford and chevy.

Bash Banks all you want, but he has produced some powerful vehicles and he's been selling a ton of aftermarket goodies. He makes a lot more money than I do, and his product has a pretty solid reputation.

Apparently Gale Banks is doing something right.
