On a turbo charged car, there is some evil dude called turbo lag. Turbo lag means that the car lags in the beginning of the rpm range due to the fact that turbo does not kick in from the very beginning. However, when it does, you'll ofcourse feel the thrust. Therefore, some cars with twin turbo uses 2 tubo systems, one for low rpm range, and the other for high rpm ranges. The size of the 2 turbos are ofcourse different. THat way, the twin turbo greatly reduces turbo lag because there is a smaller turbo to push the car without turbo lag in the low rpm range and the 2nd turbo (which is bigger) takes over. ViolA!

the turbo connects on your exhaust manifold and since hondas only have one it really doesnt make sense to stuff two in there.

i believe that turbo setup is called a sequential turbo. the same kind that is in a stock twin turbo supra. but not all twin turbo cars have that.

if you tune your nitrous setup right, nx says u can run a 75 shot w/ stock motor. both ways of forced induction may cause shorter life span of the engine. but nitrous is the best bang for the buck. 6psi on a turbo is about 60hp at the crank. 75 nx wet shot = 75++ hp to the wheels and way cheaper. i have a nx wet kit and its the best mod ive gotten for my car. i dont drive fast all the time so its perfect for me.
