sure but it wont work very well at all...

a turbo is powered by energy created by the heat and velocity of the exhaust gasses...BOTH of which would be a LOT less after going through one turbo...

works on diesel trucks though anything with smaller displacement will have a hard time with something like this.

hmmm i see it was just a thought but i can see what you guys are saying...but what i was getting at is you would make the same power out of one turbo I.E. 750hp and then run whats left over from that into another turbo wouldnt it jack it up to atleast 900?
