That is awesome numbers, but my question was if anybody twin turboed a MX3 , either a 1.8 , 2.0 or 2.5 V6 :wink:

Honestly, I think a single turbo set up would be much easier and more efficient anyways. There have been a few twin turbo Probes, but they put down the same power numbers that a big single turbo would anyways. Unless you're going for sheer coolness factor, I'd say single turbo is the way to go :wink:

i dont think that numbers push cars ...

Sure it is possible to get even more numbers if someone puts one giant turbo, but with that comes a giant LAG tim, a giant reliability problem and a giant work to figure out how to fix a simple thing.

I am sure that a V spec engine get's more fun in using twin turbo :wink:

Well.. Heh, I didn't mean one GIANT turbo, I just meant that two turbos usually are more trouble than one, lots more parts to fail, lots more parts to replace. Pipes for a single turbo set up on the v6 are easy to find, while doing a twin set up would require custom pipes. Not terribly difficult, but custom none the less. Not to mention the fact that there is barely enough room for radiator fans, no less a turbo in the front AND one in the back. You wanna talk about fixing a simple thing, complexity x10. IDK, there are lots of different ways to do it, and a twin set would be bad a--, no doubt. But the fact remains that single turboing THIS particular car/engine is easier.

And FWIW, more fun doesn't mean less complicated ;)
