Is it possible to put a Twin Turbo in a Foci?

Yes but its stupid and a waste of money. Hence why no one comes out with twin turbo kits for cars.

not to mention just how innefficient it would be...

Why would it be innefficient?

cause spooling up 2 turbos out of a 2L would take to much time, you would have way to much lag.

dude... stf, :lol:

if you were to twin turbo a 2 liter, I hope you would use such small turbo... i.e. designed for being spooled by 1 liter, there should be no LAG AT ALL...

it is just stupid to do this because of the increased hassle to do so.

Alright...it seen's like it's not a great idea so i'll stick with the 1 turbo.

unless your in show, and multiple turbo mean more points, there is no need for it, it is used on V engine for ease of turbo manifold, but as you must know, a lot of TT cars from factory benefit from swapping for a single matched turbo in both power and reliability.

Your having enuff of a hard time making up your mind with 1 turbo. Dont go confusing yourself with another one. :P :lol:

Never heard of one liter cars or turbos designed for them, so hence why I said there would be lag................

you could run anything on anything, I saw a mustang running a huge caterpillar turbo diesel turbo converted for racing...

you can get any size turbo if you look allright...

well doesn't the application of TT resolve the lag issue? a smaller turbo for low end and a bigger one for top end?

how would going TT = lots of lag?

Nass, depending on how you set them up, lets use a V8 for example, you could run 1 turbo to feed 8 cylinders, or you could use 2 half sized turbo to feed 4 cylinders each, which would decreased the spool time.

or, you could go in serie, small turbo followed by a big turbo... but I dont know too much about this setup. It sounds kinda frankenstein to me.

hmm I thought that most TT setups were small>bigger turbos.... I know that the Audi S4 is like that the older ones before they went NA but then again I don't know too much about turbo setups I just like the sound they make


woooooooooooooooooooooooooooshhhhh pssssssss

Isnt that why the S4 setup is called BIturbo instead of twin turbo

I thought biturbo setups had the small turbo feeding into the large to reduce the lag

vs twin turbos... twin seperated turbos.

k now you're getting picky!

header - turbo - BOV - turbo - BOV - Intake

and u get a double wooooooooooooooosh pssssssssssss :lol:

Haha, i was clarifying it for myself too.

Twinscroll. Effective power through the full rpm range and no lag.
