Volvo Twin Turbo
Turbo Mini Forums

Has anyone seen this article today on Pistonheads about Volvo's new twin turbo engine. The design for the split inlet looks cools. Has anyone thought about trying to make this work on a mini?

yes thought about it long and hard more than once, although that one is a parallel setup i was planning a compounded setup using either a small turbo or supercharger as stage one
i bailed on this idea because i got my hands on a single turbo that almost fit the requirements perfectly, and it turned out it spooled up alot sooner than i predicted

a member had a compounded supercharger and turbo settup on here and running, although imo he had the turbo and superchargers the wrong way around to make maximum boostage it seemed to go quite well

Yes i moved to the darkside
