You can make 1400 HP with one turbo.

Yeah, but the lag of a single turbo isn't going to help in the ET department.

He IS making 1400 hp on only 1 turbo. It is NOT a twin turbo car.

So are the turbos fed into a common chamber somewhere, or are we talking about true individual throttle bodies for each rotor?

Simple answer: One turbo per rotor.

Now that would be a secret! Hehehe.

I honestly don't know, cause I don't remember from when I had a look at it on the engine dyno.

There's only 1 turbo. It looks like individual throttlebodies fed through a common plenum chamber.

And the title of the tread is "twin".

I'll get a photo posted of a single turbo being fitted up to a rotar that will blow you's all away. "You call that a turbo!!"

It looks bigger than RE it is sitting on!

Cheers,
Hymee.
