[QUOTE="sootie, post: 1486512, member: 8162"] Huh? Have you looked at any pics of a compound setup? Exhaust comes from the manifolds into the factory turbine housing. (this spools the primary or smaller turbo and gets you into boost off the line) The exhaust then exits the factory turbine housing and travels to the atmosphere or larger turbo and spools that. (by the time the primary or smaller turbo is reaching the top end of its efficiency range, the atmosphere is taking over the boost production lol) The exhaust then leaves the atmosphere turbine and exits out the exhaust. Intake air comes in thru the filter on the atmosphere or larger turbo and is compressed and forced thru (aka "feeds") the primary or smaller turbo, to the intercooler and then into the engine. That is a typical "compound setup". Triples are the same theory with some merged piping to facilitate the additional snail. Twins are different altogether which usually consist of two identical turbos, isolated from each other entirely, with the exception of the intake manifold where boost from each is combined prior to entering the engine. (each turbo driven by a single manifold and exhausting spent gasses thru individual exhaust downpipes for each turbo) The challenge with this setup is having big enough turbos to make power while still being small enough to spool. More common in the gas world than diesel. most often seen on "V" engines due to having two exhaust manifolds. [/QUOTE]
