Well... the guy that started this post decided to try and convince me via PM for some reason. My first question was the specs on his parts. His answer did not answer much but says that the intake is like the 300zx. So I replied saying the zx is a V6, so the intake cannot be the same. He then pms that he messed up due to all the pms he was getting about his setup and that the twin turbo setup was similar to the zx and that the first stage ran 5psi while the second ran 17psi. To that I replied that the twin turbo setup on the V6 is feeding one to each bank, unlike a sequential design on an I4. He then replied that I was correct and that they designed the intake to split up the 4 cyl into two banks (thats what he told me) and that the turbos fed each one. I then replied that even if they did that they would need equal boosts on each bank, not 5psi to 2 cylinders and 17psi to the other two. He then replied that he got "locked out" and wanted to know what I was asking again.... this is fun guys. It really is

When it came to my escort I did use a matched manifold turbo and downpipe, but everything from plumbing to engine management was (red-necked) by myself.
I completely believe the set up is possible, and its possible to tune it for fuel. But I also know just because you're from "the motor city" doesn't make you a F.I. genious. Likewise, because I was born in raised in SoCal doesn't make me a surfer (I have no sense of balance, but I did try my entire life)...
The biggest give to the B.S. meter going crazy is: WHY? Why twin turbo? There are practicalities to everything and there are supportable reasons for and against it. Basically I see it as breaking down to you do it, to be the first one, and to simply show-boat your car. Same reason for Supra's and FD3S's going to single turbo. T-T set ups can balance power for those cars, but people go single with them to simply show a radical modification to the aspiration of the car (oh yeah and everyone ewwws and ahhhs with dyno-queens)
I just get the gut feeling that if you honestly twin-turbo'd your tC you'd careless about bragging on forums. You'd be more like the Axis-5, ScionSpeed, or ZPI guys that poke in and answer questions to help people, but stay modest about themselves, then have THEIR OWN sites dedicated to why they have a top notch show/performance vehicle. And most of them are nice enough to share their R&D with helping the rest of us, not use phrases to convince.
I guess your initial statements, although I believe are possible, even I think I could pull it off, make you out to seem more like one of those TV Evangelist (hope no one is offended, or 'By my powers, God Given, YOU"RE HEALED!')
Anyhow, read Engifineer's posts know he's a wealth of actual knowledge and pity him for being the nerdy one always breaking his toys and trying to rebuild them as a kid (dont hide it, we know you still play with legos and breadboard kits )
By the way, I have no degree in automotive or focus in forced induction, just my life is consumed by it. I only have personal experiences and way too much book time invested. But unlike this guy that just tries to convice everyone, here's a link to my escort's set up:

the only thing you got correct in this whole post was the part about making up such a stupid lie, lol

Manufactuers do produce kits where they use 2 seperate turbos (a smaller for quick spooling, and a larger turbo for mo pwah) but I really don't see the need when you can just get a t3/4 hybrid turbo that does basically the same thing. Eh, would be unique. Not saying there is any merit to this post, but good luck to yah.

Not sure why he kept pming me to convince me instead of just writing it in here. That was a bit strange. But his last few attempts seemed kind of futile and then he just stopped trying. His last pm contradicted what the others had said in an attempt to answer my questions, so it became less and less believeable. I am pretty sure he was just trying to convince us of what he wished he had. Or maybe he was just trying to have fun, i dunno

absolutely correct...but the race scene is also full of some of the big dogs in NC too.
If you aren't at least 5-600 hp, it's tough to get anybody to take you seriously...

went 11.28 @ 126 on the DRs, and 10.74 on 26" slicks with no fenders, hood, or front bumper cover.
Slicks wouldn't clear with all the sheet metal still on.
and that's my daily driver....
