No. Go away till you can post something other than a troll post.
It was a legitimate question, tell me why it's a stupid idea.
I was just thinking of doing it for ****s and giggles, as long as I could produce the same power as a normal big turbo, I don't need to research compound charging, my 850 is already compound charged.
1 - Four more problems than usual.
2 - WHAT.. THE ****..
3 - Can you imagine the sh!t storm of intakes, exhausts, heat shields.. never mind the fact that they're using ONE cylinder to spool.
4 - WHAT.. THE ****..
5 - Research theories behind compound turbocharging before asking questions such as this, for all of us.
There's literally no benefit to this idea besides being the worlds most famous *special* person that turpenta-charged a Volvo 5 cylinder. Even two turbos would be a much-less-than-good idea on that motor.

i love your build claymore, but you do need to do some research on compound charging if you think your 850 is compound charged... your 850 is twin charged. turbo+super=twin charged, 2x turbo= twin turbo, 2x turbo one feeding the other= compound
One turbo feeding a supercharger is compound charged, compounding means the second compressor compounds the boost out of the feed compressor.i love your build claymore, but you do need to do some research on compound charging if you think your 850 is compound charged... your 850 is twin charged. turbo+super=twin charged, 2x turbo= twin turbo, 2x turbo one feeding the other= compound
turbo+super=twin charged, 2x turbo= twin turbo, 2x turbo one feeding the other= compound
cost, plumbing, efficiency all on wrong side of the equation , it may get cool points, but thats about it
My engine is a 2.4 built motor and as it happens didn't like 35psi and split a liner...lol, all ok now.Thank you.
edit: Compound charging a 2.3 seems like it would almost be reasonable *if* you could get the motor to choke down 30 pounds of extra pressure, but the benefits and cost effectiveness of using ONE turbocharger run off 5 cylinders to make a "safe" amount of boost is inarguable. I don't know how built this motor is, so I can't say it won't handle 30+ pounds. But if you can get upwards of 20 from a reasonably sized unit, that spools relatively quickly, then it would seem silly to do anything besides that..
