Thoughts on this. It's becoming popular with hotrodders.

Never heard of it but sounds cool. Doesn’t seem like the intercooler is that big AITs are going to be high, since it’s just blowing hot air to spool the other turbo. It’s already a diesel turbo truck so maybe it can handle it better.

It's catching on with the tuners it seems. It's supposed to be more efficient and it make for more insane boost.

[ssms5411]

Yeah ,I see it making more boost, but with no intercooler I see a lot of KR with the heat. I guess if you want 30-60lbs of boost it makes sense but for a daily driver and cooler AITs and playing it safe I’ll stick with 10-12lbs of boost.

[2.8 Bird]

Yeah, that makes sense because the cars that uses this happened to be drag cars.

Yes I could see it on drag cars, they could ice them down or spray them with nitrous to oool them after each pass.
