Twin turbos off an International armored car. Compound turbos are cool.

How heavy is that assembly? Gotta be over 60 pounds right?

there was a company that TwinTurbo’d a Duratec. However when I saw the turbos on Wheeler Dealers they appeared to be the size of a man’s fist. They were tiny.

These are big. The compressor on the big turbo is large enough for me to fist.

Well they only have to each feed a 1.5 liter inline 3 so they don't need to be big to make a lot of power with the duratec.

When you said International I assumed so. I used to work next to an area that remanufactured turbos and there are some fairly large ones.

I think more power would be the more precise thing to say instead of a lot. However you are correct.

I mean they more than doubled the power output to over 400. Double is a lot of power. But yes more or MOAR, whichever. The car didn’t need too much power though as it only weighs like 2400#s!! The noble that is...

I thought the original only had 350. I am still happy that someone toyed with the Duratec. Too bad those turbos were not easier to come by.

Later iteration were over 400 but I thin the earlier nobles were closer to 350. Have you seen an ecoboost 3.5? Turbos are tiny like my focus st. Like teenager fist lol

I would assume they stick to the tiny turbos due to longevity. Overall there would be less stress all the way around. I wonder if there is a way to fit an ecoboost turbo onto a Duratec.
