nothing major, just a really bad sore throat since yesterday morning. a tiny bit of a fever last night and the ocassional cough.

my super Jedi powers should kill this virus quickly though. (or at least thats what I keep telling myself) I took the day off today to stay home and relax. (aka: post ***** on the forums and play PS3)

okay wtf I need advice of office worker peoples

normally I go to lunch at 11:30 i'd say like 95% of the time unless I have something else scheduled. So literally 2 minutes ago the 2 others in the office go off to a meeting that will last an hour and I had no idea so now I would have to wait till like 12:30-1 to go to lunch.

is it me or is that like sorta something that they should tell me beforehand?

BAh Joey! don't say yet! now you're doomed to get sick!

Yes rev, they should've asked you what time you were planning on going to lunch, or alerted you to this meeting in advance so you could properly prepare your schedule.

I'm a newb, and I wanna learn more info about things. and the biturbo and twin turbo question came to mind when someone mentioned the Alpina B7 to me...
A twin Turbo is just that Two Turbos. They can run in series (Design like the RX7 FD). Or parallel. First one boosting the second one.
Sequential twin-turbo refers to a set up in which the motor utilizes one turbocharger for lower engine speeds, and a second or both turbochargers at higher engine speeds. During low to mid engine speeds, when available spent exhaust energy is minimal, only one relatively small turbocharger, the primary turbocharger, is active. During this period, all of the engine's exhaust energy is directed to the primary turbocharger only, lowering the boost threshold, minimizing turbo lag, increasing power output at low engine speeds and providing the benefits of a small turbo. Towards the end of this cycle, the secondary turbocharger is partially activated (both compressor and turbine flow) in order to pre-spool the secondary turbocharger prior to its full utilization. Once a preset engine speed or boost pressure is attained, valves controlling compressor and turbine flow through the secondary turbocharger are opened completely (the primary turbocharger is deactivated at this point in some applications). At this point the engine is functioning in a full twin-turbocharger form, providing the benefits associated with a large turbo, including maximum power output, without the disadvantages such as increased turbo lag.

My RX7 (FC) has what is called a Twin Scroll Turbo system. Twin-scroll designs have two valve-operated exhaust gas inlets, a smaller sharper angled one for quick response at lower RPM's and a larger less angled one for peak performance. As the engine RPM's increase the second exhaust valve opens allowing more exhaust gas to the turbo. Making it increase boost. Thus increasing engine power.

As far as Pro's and Con's. Twin turbo, Twice the cost, as in two turbos. Most people opt for a single well rounded turbo for the most efficiency and cost saving.
