Isn't that different than usual? Since typically the gt55 would be the turbo in the valley getting the exhaust first, then the exhaust would be split to the 4202's.

I don't think this setup can be compared to anything else. I usually trip major ball sack trying to figure it out/comparing.

reverse your numbers and you will be spot on. The top two are GTX4202R's flowing into a GT5541R

I went back through and looked at all the pics, but I couldn't see a clear picture of how the compressor side is plumbed. If I understand you correctly, the 4202s are the atmosphere turbos that feed into the 5541, but the exhaust goes through the 4202s first?

That is correct.

All I know is that when these 3 light for the first time the tectonic plates in the northeast will shift and there will most likely be earthquakes and volcanoes.

All nonsense aside...His truck actually sits still, while the earth is being spun faster from the tires. The volcanoes and earthquakes happen when he turns around and actually slows the earth down from going the other direction. This is common knowledge people.

That is correct.

That's really interesting. Has anyone ever plumbed a compound turbo setup like that before? I wonder if it will cause any weird drive pressure problems, or if the high pressure turbo will suffer from a lack of drive pressure.

This has been done in quite a few of the top pullers for quite sometime now

It seems so different from the way it is typically done. Is there any benefit to plumbing it that way? I just can't quite get my head around how you would get the turbos to function properly with it setup like that. I'll have to do some research on it.
