i dont really know how it compares but I am guessing the sequential setup would cause the smaller turbo to spin slower or something b/c of the compressed air coming from larger turbo.
??????
they arent connected at all
there is a "door" that switches what turbo is getting the exhaust gas and providing the boost for whatever RPM/load/speed/whatever
so the small turbo spools up very fast and provides boost at low RPMs then when more boost is needed for more power than the smaller turbo can provide the door switches and the larger turbo now takes over
and there is usually something that pre loads the larger turbo before the switch so there is no secondary lag
this twin turbo setup is very good
but it takes up a lot of space.... so if you want a larger turbo chances are you cant get 2 of them in the space available so people swap to one
and its heavy.... twice the turbos means more piping and all that shit so it is lighter to go with one larger turbo
ok i see. sort of like a check valve. I was thinking it was like how compound superchargers work.
