[QUOTE="EvilTwins, post: 8578726, member: 62345"] I don't really think this is a very good idea. First off, have you ever even been in a twin turbo Cobra? People sit here on these forums and talk about numbers and about how you're going to lose all this "low end torque" by going turbo from supercharged, but if you haven't even experienced what a twin-turbo cobra is like then in my opinion you can't make a good decision. Twin 57's have very little lag and they are the perfect sized turbos to make 800rwhp. I think you'll find that going with any other setup with that goal to be counter-productive, it just won't be as efficient. Sequential setups are not a common choice in performance builds and there's a reason for that. Even the cars that did have these sequential setups from the factory (such as an RX-7), you'll quickly notice that the first thing people do when they upgrade is ditch the sequential setup and go with a single. If you've never been in or driven a twin-turbo Terminator which I'm thinking you haven't, please try to do so. Trust me my brother has a 500rwhp eaton Cobra and while I'm sure his car has more power at 1500RPM, it does not mean anything. My car is a hell of a lot more fun to drive and a hell of a lot faster. Turbo Cobra's MOVE OUT! It seems that most people that consider these Compound setups or Sequential setups are always people that don't even know what a twin-turbo Cobra is like. I don't know how many posts I've read from people that drive eaton Cobra's saying that a Compound setup is the only way to go??? Honestly what do these people even know about these setups? I don't really remember reading any posts from people that are currently twin-turbo saying what a good idea a compound setup is. I've experienced both supercharged and turbo Cobra's and I will never ever consider going compound, turbos don't need any help. I can understand you wanting to be different, but just remember that different doesn't always mean better. [/QUOTE]
