Compound Boost Setup
So I have a setup I've been tooling around with and it's almost on its finished stages so I figured I'd share a little bit.
Most of the mods are in my sig.
I also made a video of the car tooling around the streets today.

Porting the eaton would drop my intake temps and give me some extra power but that doesnt really matter, I have a turbo thats plenty big for that on route.
I want to limit the boost to preserve my internals.
The idea is to make 800rwhp on 93 and 1000rwhp on c16 or similiar.
I'll take some new ones in the morning, the ones I have are before a lot of changes.
Theres plenty of ways to skin a cat and power is power, there isnt a turbo setup you can buy that gives you power faster and if I want top end power I just turn up the boost or buy a bigger turbo.

The eaton will KILL your TOP END... I mean, it took Hellion 42psi of manifold pressure to do what 25-28 psi would do on a nice turbo kit. Efficiency is NON EXISTANT in a compound boost set up. 800rwhp on pump gas is laughable, at best, in a compound set up. I'll believe it when I see it.
Vitoman is pretty well known. He had been running a Hellraiser kit on his car, and then he got smart and removed the eaton, and started making some REAL POWER...
Also, good luck on keeping your heads from lifting, once you surpass the 1000 rwhp on the compound set up...

Just for good measure, study this dyno graph, of the hell raiser car @ 42 psi:
Notice how at about 5500 rpms (120mph) the power PLUMMETS! Even though the boost pressure is steadily increasing. That should tell you VOLUMES about how inefficient compound boost is...

Something I rigged myself.

It may not be as easy at strapping two 57s to the engine but it gets the power the exact same way.

never said u wouldnt make power dont get me wrong they can make power, but where do u want your power, you want a nice torque curve with usable power or do u want something thats all over the graph?
