Twin turbos are good?

...or 8.


Now that's just absurd and pointless. Especially given how it's setup.

Does look like it.

They can probably make do with something like this:

Stupid.

That's just about the dumbest setup I have ever seen if real.

Tell that to this.

- M4H

M4H: that only has four turbos for it's 12 cylinders. And I'm guessing the routing isn't as pointless.

What dumba$$ would spend that kind of money to make 800 hp? You could easily do it for less. 4 turbos would cost what? $16g's?

One word...Boom! That's what's going to happen when you start pushing that engine.

Hasn't come out yet because it wasn't stable enough at 220mph

veyron? is it?

Its a show car

Note that there's not 4 turbos in that car, but EIGHT. And they're all just lumped in paralell. A pair of properly sized ones would be better. The oil line plumbing must be an absolute nightmare.

 

I can understand why someone would install several small turbos (reduces turbo lag considerably), if he had designed the plumbing better and used small enough turbos there would be a significant advantage over a standard turbo setup (no lag, tremendous boost at low R.P.M. along with very good high end breathing) but as it stands, the guy threw his money into the wind because of the poor execution of the setup he has now.

I seem to recall a man named Rick Dobberton from the early 1980's.............
