Turbo V8

[Bob Wooten]

No, one fails & the honeymoon is over, you are going to have to rebuild
anyway.  the issue here really is the characteristics of the engine as a
system.  There are a lot of issues to consider.  Usage, HP goal,
application, stick or auto, top end or 1/8 mile, intercooler or not. single
or dual, fuel management, CR, head material, etc, etc, etc.  To consider all
of these things, & then decide the best choice of application, then
execution is the key to getting the desired result.  with a forced induction
car there are more issues than in a NA car, cause the stakes are higher, but
so is the potential.

if you are serious about Turbo;s get Corky Bells book, read it & the light
bulbs will come on in dozens @ a time.  it is a fantastically informative
read & the man has a sense of humor to boot.

    , I think that the TT is the way to go I think that it will
    ultimately be simpler & more robust than a single, mostly cause of
    expansions cross over pipes & heat loss, but you know what they say

    Would there be a bit more reliability in a Twin setup as there is a bit
of
  redundancy?? In a failure of one Turbo, not effecting the second may
prevent
  a possible catastrophic engine failure?? Such as a blow-off or waiste gate
  failure?? Just a thought.
