If you do a search for 'compound' turbo setups, you'll find plenty. Black Widow Diesel has a kit, for starters.
Compound turbo setups are linked in series in one system, Twin turbo setups usually use one turbo to feed one bank (side) of a "V" motor, thus the term "Twin Turbo". Just FYI, not trying to be Mr. Know-it-all. (Because that couldn't be farther from the truth.)

Also, the turbos are not "twins" as in two of the same turbos. In our application, usually one is smaller for fast spooling and lower RPM power, the other is larger for higher RPM ranges. And the exhaust goes to one first, while the intake goes to the other one first. Kind of a crossed connection, if you follow me...
Not trying to be "Mr. Know-it-all" either, just clearing up the terminology.

So far all we've done is cut up some perfectly good DI headers and make an oil feed/return mount where the original pedistal goes.
It's far from done, plan is to finish it by years end...
I am still wagering a compound set-up on my own truck. Then maybe I can get 'er to stop the drug use.
