Two Turbos?
If one way to make more horse power/torque is to make the engine breath . . . and one of the problems with producing more boost is backpressure, high temps at the wheel, and surges then . . .
A question, thought, idea . . . has anybody put a second turbo on a 7.3?
If not would it be possible?
What kind of performance/gains would such a beast have/get?
Maybe its just crazy, but does anybody else like the idea?

Ahh Strokin found it - I KNEW I had seen a web page with pictures of one with twins!!
Dodge guys are running sequential twins quite a bit - but they have a lot more room to play with where their stock turbo mounts under the hood - AND a lot less money to spend on prepping the motor just to have it LIVE with twins.
