I was talking with a mazda performance tech recently. He told me that one of the ways you can make the stock turbo last longer and to be more reliable is to make it parallel instead of sequential. He says that the lag in low end is hardley noticeable and that the power kicks in harder in the high end to make up for it. Has anyone else heard of or tried this modification?

if your sequential turbos work fine. leave them that way. if your having boost problems then convert to non-seq. non-seq is laggy compared to sequential. you won't see a performance difference but you will feel it. if it ain't broke don't fix it https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

just run your turbos till they die, then go for the good ol' big single upgrade

I was ******* around on the internet today and saw this on a web page. Its for switching (confusing) the turbos to work non-sequienal. I dont know if it works , or if it will mess your **** up, but i thought i'd post it https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png
