Terminology: "twin" and "sequential"

[edit]

Aren't the two words mutually exclusive in this application? The article currently uses "sequential twin turbo," but many sources on the internet equate "twin" with "parallel" turbo setup. I agree that "twin turbo" sounds like two identical turbochargers working at the same time and equal pressures.

Any arguments to the opposite point of view? 75.170.66.49 (talk) 04:58, 28 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This needs to be sorted out. Currently [1] the article lead starts out Twin-turbo or biturbo refers to a turbocharged engine, in which two turbochargers compress the intake charge. More specifically called "parallel twin-turbos" following this edit.

However the scope of the article currently includes sequential and staged turbos, so the second sentence More specifically called "parallel twin-turbos" is confusing at best and possibly just plain wrong. Or if it's correct then the article probably needs either re-scoping or renaming. Andrewa (talk) 19:00, 24 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Who's the brain damaged MORON who decided that a search for the word Biturbo should be linked to this page. Rest assured ANYONE typing in Biturbo is looking for the Maserati Biturbo series of cars, NOT twin turbochargers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lokisgodhi (talkcontribs) 05:27, 22 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Section on Sequential Turbos looks like a cut and paste from a patent application

[edit]

Specifically the last part of the second paragraph which speaks about GM's 2016 patent application which reads like a press release for the manufacturer rather than a description of a technology.

I was wondering whether to tag it but am not sure which template to use. Probably needs a rewrite, in any case. smu95rp (talk) 10:39, 25 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Staged turbocharging

[edit]

The article describes this in its own section despite the introduction implying it's different.--213.48.132.203 (talk) 08:33, 14 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
