Weird turbo config
So,
Was messin' about reading how turbos work, tryin to understand different housing sizes, compressor trim and stuff, came accross this
I now understand whats wrong, and laughed when i realised.
Guess many peeps here will spot the mistake immediately, but thought it was worth a look anyway.

That pic just looks stupid, doesn't make any sense.
Edit: ok I see the "funny" error, but it's still a pointless picture.

Seemingly as air flow follows the path of least resistance, it'll all escape through the bigger turbo, causing the smaller one never to spool up. Completely useless.
Just thought it was a mad pic.
Think it was designed for a C20LET

It's a bad setup I agree.
It's nowhere near as complex as something i'm working on

Also - i can't help but wonder how turbulent the air would be trying to turn 90 degrees as it enters each turbo!
AMS seem to do a better job of twin turbo setups

PassionFord Post Whore!!
Would the smaller turbo feed the larger one all the way through the rev range?
