two-staged turbo

two-staged turbo
Since there is often a lag while a turbine comes up to speed, some performance cars use two (or more) turbo units, large and small, driven by different legs of the exhaust. The smaller turbos speed up quickly giving rapid response, and the larger units provide the volume needed for high power at higher rpm's. Also see turbocharger.
