Stock turbos for cheap parallel setup?
Stock turbos for cheap parallel setup?
Due to some miscommunications, I may have ended up buying two stock turbos for an OM606. It occurred to me to make a cheap twin (parallel) setup using these, and two stock manifolds. Each manifold would be cut between the middle two runners, and capped off at the cut. One of these half-manifolds would go on the front three cylinders, the other on the back three, each with a stock turbo. I have to do custom intake and exhaust plumbing anyway, so the extra work there isn't much. I doubt this would be as good a solution as a compound setup, but would it gain anything over a single stock turbo? I expect there'd be a little more lag. How about increased power ceiling?
