Has anyone ever...?
Hey guys this idea is really far fetched, but.. Has anyone ever supercharged, or twin-charged an OBS? Realistically i dont have the funds for it, but i got to thinking and i am very curious as to how instant boost feels in a diesel.

Jim ran tripples even.

It all depends on how you set up your turbo's.
Our motors are so big air effects them different.

It also depends on if your running them as compounds or duals, blah blah blah.

If you use a small turbo to spool a big turbo and switch over.

Its nightmareish to read about. Go spend 10 minutes and watch your brain blow up. I gave up reading about different combo's after 30 mins of research.

Joey successfully runs twins.

Not everyone does though.

It's just not necessary.

Well when i say twin charging, i mean running a super charger and a turbo. I helped my buddy do this on a WRX, even though i know diesel and gas are completely different animals. What is the outcome of supercharging a diesel?

For what it would cost to supercharge a 7.3 you could get some BIG sticks and a BF turbo.
