thats not so much of an issue as having a motor powerfull enough to hold all those PSI ok. If you got big $'s, then yes. I dont belive you can get twin turbo kits, but custom is always possible.

possible, but probably not worth it, unless you are an engineer.

I'm an engineer, I still don't think it's worth it.

Completely unnecessary, but it would definetly be original. There aren't many out there, but yeah, with enough brains and money it's definetly possible.

well, if it were designed properly, it could be made to work pretty sweet, but IMHO, you can get good power and response out of a single turbo, and if you go twin, you have to pay for a second one for minimal gains. and a good pair of turbos isnt cheap. let alone all the custom piping and manifolds. and electronics. and relays. and actuators. you get the idea.

<----------------learning. With twin turbos on 6s are the turbo sending pressure to 3 cylinders each or are they both sending equal pressure to all 6?

Depends. Some use parallel (one for each set of 3 cylinders) and some use sequential (small turbo for low rpms and to help spool big turbo for high end power). The 2JZ-GTE (Supra TT) uses sequential setups, which have been carefully tuned to eliminate boost dips between the ranges of the two turbos. The RB26DETT (GTR motor ) uses parallel turbos, which generally provide bigger numbers over a higher-end powerband.

<-----------learning also. I would suspect you need the big bucks, especially in a case where each turbo fed half the cylinders. Can you imagine if all of a sudden one turbo quit on you? Kaboom?
