Re: twin turbo civic wtf? (PatrickGSR94)
The S4 has an actual V6, one turbo on each side of the engine. The VW VR6 engines are more like inline engines than V6's. It has 6 cylinders but only one cylinder head. As you can see by the headgasket in the pics of the VR6 twin turbo systems, the cylinders are staggered at a narrow angle, 28 degrees I believe. This makes for an engine that's only as long as a typical I-4 engine, and not as wide as a typical V6. It also has a single exhaust manifold like an inline engine.
Is it lighter? Stiffer? Cheaper to repair? What makes the S4 better?

Re: twin turbo civic wtf? (deftones0817)
ok here is the skinny. i used to work for f-max fabrication and i currently own my own fabircation shop in san diego. this is how it works. the drt civic is not running a twin charged setup(super and turbo chargers). they r indeed running a twin turbo setup. the way this is possible is by pulse tunning the manifolds for maximum flow and efficency for each turbo. what they do is use the the timing events of the motor to spool the twin turbos. the one and three runners r dedicated to one turbo and the two and four boss the other turbo. this allows for the turbos to be used in for different parts of the power band.
