N54 with 2 Twinscroll turbos

alectoparty · 04-16-2016, 10:06 PM

Is it possible to mount 2 OEM N55 turbos onto an N54 platform? I know one could just buy larger turbos... But that's not the point, I just want to know if having twin twin-scroll turbos is possible. Or would it be too complicated? More of a theoretical question, less about cost and top end power.

Ignore this, wrong locstion

Possible, sure, but completely unrealistic. You'd have to chop the turbofolds off and do full-on custom fabrication. It would cost many thousands on top of the hardware.

No. You'd need at least 4 cylinders to adequately spool a twinscroll.

They will spool fine misconfigured you'll just lose the extra efficiency.

You're arguing semantics. It will not be worth doing.
