I was just trying to let you know Zabo, the Skyline motor had nothing to do with compound setups. The setup is a twin turbo setup and the pipes are scavenged correctly to help with spooling, but it is still considered a twin setup. A compound setup doesn't have to be a turbo and a centrifugal SC but can be 2 turbos (1 small and 1 big for high pressure and low pressure). The whole purpose is to have the effect of both a small turbo and a large turbo but no downdraw and they are not split doing half the load. A compound setup has the turbos feed off each other having the small turbo provide boost until the large turbo provides pressure to the small turbo. This is what a compound setup should look like
