Dave; I can honestly say My first Bonneville motor was a turbocharged 270
GMC using two Corvair TRW turbos. No sizing to speak of. I knew one was too
small so two should be better. Might have surged some I don't know. Blew up
every one I could get my hands on. Paid from a low of $19 to a high of $125
for junkyard turbos. Spun the turbine wheel right out of the exhaust pipe
once. Had lots of fun. Good thing about fun is you don't have to know
anything to have it. Rich
