Default Twin turbo

i am sure this has been brought up before but my friend just got a tC and is planning on getting twin turbos for it. i havent heard of anyone doing that yet.

idk can someone point me to a previous thread that discussed this.

is it actually possible and what kind of performance gains would you see with that?

It's been discussed, put to make it quick: a twin-turbo inline-4 street car is a fabrication nightmare and would be much less efficient than a single turbo.

twin turbo for a 4 cylinder is really more for show in my opinion. you can get comparible performance (minimal lag and high boost) with a proper single turbo. i once saw a twin turbo CRX, but nothing else since.
