TwinTurbo system has two turbochargers in serial configuration with a nominal boost pressure of 3 bar/ 44psi.

At low rpm of the engine, an electrovalves system of the air intake actives the first and little turbo.

At middle rpm the second and big turbo is activated, two turbos works on serial mode.

At high rpm the electrovalves deactived the first turbo and only works the big.

With this configuration Opel has obtained a superturbocharger engine with minimun turbo lag effect and good performance at low rpm.
