A VERY basic breakdown:

Twin-turbo: two identical turbos which do not interact with each other.

Sequential turbos: two different sized turbos which also do not do much to interact with each other, but have different powerbands and therefore help the car to have a wider power band.

Compound turbos: two different sized turbos which have their hot sides integrated, AND their cold sides integrated. The purpose is similar to sequential turbos. It does a better job, but is more complicated to setup and tune.

Keep at 'er, Mike smile


Clear as day Jeremy. I guess one could also do combinations. Twin compound turbos rotate or quads. I also heard of rear mounted Squires turbo which apparently smog legal in Cali. Endless possibilities.
