THANK YOU ERIK!! <3 It now makes sense! So....mechanically speaking, which would be more beneficial for a rotary engine?

Haha I envy you Joey, I get bruises and they last months...maybe I should steal your healing abilities like rogue

Awwww Mike I hope you feel better!

Matt: FWIW, if it's a supervisor - then giving you notice would be a courtesy. My bosses leave all the time at different times. Kind of a dick move IMO but i don't think there's any real regulations on it unless specified some where...I know i hate it too...

Mike: did she enjoy redlining it? YAY! I'm glad to hear you're healing well! You'll be up and driving your 8 soon!

Matt: Does your company have a calendar that everyone shares and inputs meetings, etc.? I know that I'm supposed to check ours regularly to know when i can or cannot leave, etc.

Haha I'm sorry Matt, at least she can't pin it on you for not checking the calendar!

And I asked for the info on the turbos Joey....are you being sarcastic or serious? No teasing the seph for being a stupid woman!

Ryan....I thought you took a half day, go take a nap! lol

An optimum set up is a turbo matched to the efficiencies of the engine. Will spool fast and deliver the most air that the engine can induct and displace(exhaust).
Car manufacturers that used a sequential system are trying to obtain both low end (instant) power with less lag and the most top end power. The best most efficient power curve with little to no turbo lag.

The thing about multiple turbos is that it will allow for two smaller turbos to do the job of one large turbo. This could be utilized due to limited area for a large turbo in the engine compartment, or just because a small turbo has a tendency to boost (deliver power faster) than a larger single turbo.
Bottom line is, do you want instant /low rpm power?" And not as much top end power at high rpm's. Small turbo.
Or more power at the top end of the rpm range and less down in the lower rpm's? Big turbo.

I would go 1 big Turbo for high rpm's cuz that's were the engine has the most power loss in high gears.
