[V8] V8 Twin Turbo?

[toml99 at todomundo.com]

There's a short video on Youtube, of some germans who did  
it....sounds kinda cool till it backfires....It's been said that it  
would be tranny suicide to do it to an automatic....Someone(think on  
Motorgeek, may have been the English site) had pics of all the bent  
rods when their's blew up.  Love the quote from Newt(Motorgeek guy  
who did a swap) on page 36 after however long it took him to get it  
all together/fabricate said....."hope the motor lasts for more than  
one event!..... When I first got the Pearl car, and got it running, I  
was into it so little, that I had that dream also.....Spent days 
(weeks?) on Motorgeek.....then I started adding up the parts, not to  
mention all the time/energy(that I seem to have less of these days),  
to build something that could easily blow up.  I recall that the  
consensus was also that the supercharger, was a bit "safer"  
alternative(from the mouth's of people who blow up motors) and way  
less plumbing/etc.....then almost got stranded 40 miles offshore on a  
friend's fishing boat that had a Volvo Supercharger(diesel) sieze up 
(wouldn't run without it, and we limped back on 1 engine(same  
Supercharged/Turbo diesel 140hp) in bad seas which was way worse than  
side of the road btw......Oh yeah, and the clincher was that the  
supercharger(since it's for a boat) retailed for HUGE money...I'm  
recalling something like $4-6000 new )....and I decided my car was  
fine as it was, and has enough to go wrong with it as it is.  Not  
trying to be negative, and would love to see you do it, if you've got  
the time/money/machine shop/know what all those different graphs  
actually mean in reference to the "breaking point" of your motor,  
then go with it.  I'm pretty sure some of the guys @ 034 could take  
my 5-speed and "make it so".....for probably more than the Volvo  
supercharger, and I'd have a previously "huge maintanance  
car"....with more high dollar possible problems(see "cop"  
issue)........(not that I don't covet the twin turbo  
concept)......Just about then, the steering rack will  
hemmorage.....I'm just broke....Tom
