This may seem like a dumb question and I did read up on advantages/disadvantages of a turbocharger and the same with superchargers. One interesting production car is the VW diesel Jetta with one of each!

So here be the question: turbochargers big disadvantage is the lag before kicking in. Does having two minimize this at all or do they work in tandem? Just wondering why I have seen so many twin turbos, both production like the new Caddy and custom builds.

Thanks.
