    Default changing turbo on rb30 to twins

    hi was wondering if it would be possible to change from the single lagging turbo to twins but is was think if it was possible to mix a big turbo with a smaller one to try to minnimise the lag. thanks all info will be appriceated

    actually when you think about it, with a twin setup you don't need overly large turbo's so the lag wouldn't be as bad as a larger single setup anyway... just ahve to be choosy with your turbo selection

    shortening your intercooling plumbing can make a big difference. getting an a/m plenum that faces foward straight to intercooler then to turbs gets rid of a lot of plumbing and also lag.....

    No wonder your complaining about LAG. A 600kw turbo.

    You must have a hell of alot of mods to be running this turbo!!
