I am pretty sure Dave @ PP did this once, just for something to do. Not sure what happened to it.

Sounds like an expensive, frustrating waste of time that will give about the same results as one turbo of a slightly larger size. Then again people have told me I was wasting my time, like trying to put a VW Diesel in a Land Rover, so go for it! Just share your results, good or bad.

Because they didn't think such a small motor would have the power or torque, plus no one made an adapter for it or even knew if it could be done.

Yeah, 42 hp, though parts are surprisingly easy to get for it. Did you know that over 70% of all Land Rovers ever produced are still on the road today?

Yep I did this about 2 years ago, worked great, no idea what happened with that engine/car, haven't talked to the customer in a while. Can't say it was really a lot better than just going with a MB t3 turbo, but it was fun to fab up.

Aaron, you really really need to worry about getting your crank fixed before you go about doing any more modifications.

nope, not talking bout my car, not putting much more money into making this car go fast, if it'll run reliably, i'll be happy. Running tough again, getting it checked tomorrow, injectors or crank. We'll see if the timing's changed.

Not trying to thread jack, I just don't want your valves and pistons to meet and make a mess :shock:
Hopefully your crank gets fixed.
I think there is a guy on tdi club running twin ko3's as well.

Parallel twins are pretty pointless on an inline engine. An appropriately sized single turbo will spool just as quickly and a single VNT will walk all over a set of twins.
There are only three reasons to use parallel twins on an inline diesel engine. 1- To make yourself seem cool. 2- To make people think your car is fast. 3- There isn't a single turbo big enough to supply the air the engine needs.
If its for a S&G project, have at it and have fun. If you are serious about it, your efforts and money would be better focused on a well matched single or a VNT.
Personally, I'd rather get a few of those IHI micro turbos and have a turbo for each cylinder.
