JD, were expected gains from the twin turbo on the 986 discussed when you had a chance to talk to Ivan?


TPC claims with a single turbo 135 hp under 5.5 psi or so. I am curious about the twin set up. TIA

In this application twin turbos help minimize turbo spool up time to prevent turbo lag. They won't add more boost or max horsepower. It's possible 2 turbos would help packaging due to the smaller size but I don't think so.

I agree it may just widen the power band some if design and engineered correctly. If I went turbo I definitely would go E85. Too bad not enough stations around here with that stuff

he's using aerochargers (variable vane turbo chargers) so lots of kick at small rpms but you're not going to get the same max hp as one big turbo. no oil lines to run, and the variable vanes mean no wastegate, but the turbos are $2k per unit. otherwise, two turbos mean no crossover pipe.
