I wanted to ask if you could stage twin turbos like that. Run a small turbo to get off the line that by passes at something like 10lbs into a larger turbo. I always thought it would over spin the small turbo though. Anyone know if it works, I think I have seen an import do something like this but not at the scale I'm talking about.

sorry to jack the thread I have been meaning to ask, and didn't want to make a whole post about it.

Thanks Shad
