is it possible? ya...no point really seeing as youd have to have some small turbos to be driven by 1 cylinder worth of exhaust gas...

probably more than you have...more turbos isnt necessarily better, not most (not all) of the faster supra are running a single turbo, same goes for RX7's....if you have a "V" style motor, than twins would work out better...but doing 1 turbo per cylinder is just for the sake of doing 1 turbo per cylinder, there would be ridiculous amounts of piping involved and in the end it wouldn't be worth it

hehehe....everyone knows you're poor....it would probably cost you in the neighborhood of 5-7g's with all the custom everything you'd have to do...but that's just a guess...i really have no clue :lol:

you get dedicated, controlled air into each cylinder... in comparison with a plenum and runner system which can leave a few cylinders running less efficiently than others, making tuning all 4 cylinders optimally nearly impossible.
4 separate turbines would be a great thing as you can tune each cylinder independantly... the only problem being that to make each little turbine efficient, they have to be as small as possible to be fed by the exhaust gas of only one cylinder. even worse, the pulsing gases of that one cylinder. to top it off, the smaller you make the turbine, the less output it has.
best bet is a single turbine feeding an equal length intake manifold so all cylinders get equal air and fuel flow.

i guess that is why it is just a proven fact that one turbo is the best
