Yea thats how they are set up usually where one feeds the other. I ment more in reference to cars such as the Toyota Supra Twin Turbo for example. It uses a smaller turbo to feed a larger tubro in its on unique setup. However the guys that are making serious power, all go BIG single turbo. Now its a common joke that they only run 12s in the quarter mile which most heavily modified ones do. But watch a video on youtube of a big turbo supra on the free way, and see if anything at all can keep up.

If you think about driving WOT, sure from a dead stop you will have a delay in spool time, but with a V8 pushing a big turbo it the lag wont be as bad as say a EVO or something. Plus at WOT your truck will be over 3500RPM every upshift so you wont ever experience lag again during the run.

Either way, twin turbo or single, its still a turbo set up and aint no one going to give you nothin but respect.
