so let me get this straight you want to TT a 4 cylinder car, I mean I guess it could be done. I would def get two KO4's or 2 K03's, I would not mix and match turbo's unless I was doing a sequential setup.

Thats my .02 cents

ive never heard of a biturbo on such a small displacement single bank block... im not sure it would even work unless you are bill gates... you should just go BT and forget about this sillyness

Sounds like a really stupid waste of money, more stupid than a turbo 2.8. Spooling 2 turbos with a 1.8 wouldn't be fun and theres probably no room to fit 2 with piping and all supporting stuff. I can't imagine how much it would cost.

no, its not a good idea. Only 2 pulses dont give enough flow for the turbos. Just scrap the idea because it will cost more than a simple BT upgrade

Um...do you LIKE migraines? You're gonna have a few if you attempt this craziness. I did a single turbo KIT install on my mustang-yea it sucked. I couldn't imagine trying it on my 1.8 Audi.It would be pointless, other than trying to set yourself apart from the crowd(which I can respect). But, seriously...you would have to run a stand alone ignition system and all that to support a wild set up like that wouldn't ya??I know Bugatti runs quad turbos, but that's also on a w12 or w16 with engineering freaks of nature building it.If you get that done and your car actually runs...PLEASE post those pictures and your process of install...if you can fit all that in this forum

Good luck if you go for it!

nah, what r u people talking about? you just run 1 turbo into the other. that way your double turbocharging the air!!! waaay more power than those stupid BT's everyone else is investing their time and money into

I think your best bet will be a single big fukn turbo....like a Gt30 or langer...which'll be about the same size as 2 KO3's...

or you coulg go Ko4 pc-16 and then run a shot of nitrous...that should be pretty interesting!

gl!

I-4 bi-turbo is not a very good idea...
