Re: Staggered turbo setup? lag reduction?

This has been covered multiple times on 3si, so if you do a search you can find alot of good info. While there are people who are running two different sized turbos, AFAIK, they are pretty similar in size. ie, a 9b and a 13/15G or something like that. Nothing as drastic as a 9b and a td05. As you mentioned, our turbos are in a parallel setup, not sequential. So you can't really have the one spooling the other (without some crazy piping). Basically, I think you would have some serious issues with the 2 banks running so completely different. I mean one would be always spooling and have td04 housing, and then one would be running off a td05 and headers or adapter plates...I just think it would cause issues.

If you are really worried about spooling downlow with big td05s, do the supporting mods, and then toss in a small wetshot down low to get them spooling. I think it would be a hell of alot easier and less problematic. my .02

Your 1996 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 is the 92nd out of the 315 that were made that year. Only 21 of which are exactly identical.
