2nd turbo?

Hi, I'm the owner of a black 1996 850R wagon, and I'm thinking about putting in a second turbo, running in series with the stock one. A friend of mine pulled something similar with a Porsche, brought the compression up to some insane figures, and his car HAULS. I was leaning towards a second high-pressure Volvo one, any advice?

P.S. - The gray plastic on the trim strips has all cracked off, and it looks horrible. Is anyone else having this problem??

How about 300ZX, 3000GT(Stealth), Typhoon, Cyclone, and the special F-bird. The 2.7T V6 that Audi has? The V8 twin turbo that Audi and other more exotic cars have? I think the list goes on and on...there are a lot of V configuration twin turbos out there. I'm sure many others on this board can recall more than I can.

How about Flat 6 twin turbo?

I thought the Fairlady always had the V config...one of the reasons some didn't like about the engine. I could be wrong...

Yeah, which Maserati had the twin turbo V8? I know Terrence's family has one.
