A 2-stage turbo will be too laggy to say the least, and will have power only during cruising.




Here is some info on how turbo works to clear your doubts - Turbocharger - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dude i meant two stage turbo charger, not stage two turbocharger. Two stage turbocharger means a smaller turbine running on the exhaust gases which drives a larger turbine.And yes those cars do sport turbos on them .But they were built strong enough to handle the massive pressure due to the turbocharging of the engine. I suggested titanium valve kits to strengthen our little engines which were not designed originally to handle so much pressure. You can also use normal valves. but the chances of their failure is high.
@Nithin.j: Search TeamBHP for Venugopalan's supercharged fiero.
