All I know is that any twin turbo'd four cylinder is all fashion and next to no function. Twin turbo'ing an inline four is the stupidest thing ever.

There are some uses for SEQUENTIALLY charging an inline 4, not twin charging per se. However, the benefits do not really outweigh the huge cost. With the turbos that are out today there is not much need. He could have gotten the same output with very little lag for way less. So he basically paid a TON of money to sequentially charge "just to be different" ? I hardly believe that. He may have some extra bolt on parts to fool those who aren't as familiar with charging... but I doubt it is functional. Without pics and videos of the dyno run I am extremely skeptical.

He was being sarcastic with the name BS Heffer, "tard". The guy was completely full of it, and I proved that. Especially when I e-mailed the shop that he says did all of the work for him. They replied by telling me what I already knew, that they did not build it and would not even recommend a sequentially charged I4. Of course, a minimum of car knowledge and reading the info he posted proved that on his own. But, you wouldnt know that now would you? Plus, why did you bring up such an old argument now? Been planning out what you would say all this time?
