Your telling me you couldn't afford to buy a 16g? Say you can't fabricate, which I can't either, all you do is get a local shop to make you a manifold stup like Pauls's to incorporate two turbos a smaller one feeding into a larger one and your set. To be honest if I dind't build my car to spool so fast by taking away a lot of rotating mass then I would look into this.
Its only the price of the 16g because he already had all the stuff and did all the fabrication himself..

Having something like that made alone would cost a lot more than a 16g, not to mention it includes a 16g so it is redundant to state that a setup requiring a 16g cost less than purchasing a 16g...

At the end of the day its a great way to do something new, but regardless for time and money which for anyone else would include purchasing the turbo and fabing the setup how does one justify the gains? As I stated before (and still stands) for the amount of time, money, and effort it would cost to reproduce you could build a car using a single turbo setup to perform similarly with the headache of only 1 turbo.
