Compound turbo setups?? Anyone done one??

A compound setup is not needed, you are correct. There are trade offs for each system. Everyones situation is different and must weigh the advantages and disadvantages of each setup. I would disagree though as a compound setup gives you a larger range of useable rpm than a single and that can be useful in everyday driving. Is it needed? No.

I have seen different amounts of smoke from engines of similar horsepower levels. Our C16 with a single turbo doesn't smoke at all and puts over 800 hp to the ground, but I have yet to see a truck over 1,000 hp not smoke. Even Leon's truck will billow a black cloud.

 

That's why I go by a saying. Keep it simple stu##d!

 

That was a great movie of the rodeo and how the Canadians do things. Now we need some americans to show us how they do it.

 

I would have to fire myself if I did that to my truck.

I understand the desire, just can't make myself do it.

 

Any idea of the cost to put the turbo setup in post #27 on an engine?

 

If you already have the turbo's $2500 to $3000.
