i dont see what benifit you would get from twin turbocharging your evo since there is a good turbo for every power output you need. i would say stick with the single turbo it works.

Why introduce complexity into an otherwise simple effective solution?

Yes there was a twin turbo setup on the evo running 2 16g's. I really dont think it was beneficial in anyway but that was my .02

why complicate things? Put on a 35R with meth or alky with all supporting mods and a good tune and your flying.

Why would you run a twin turbo? THe supra guys that have the twin turbo stock almost always switch em out for a bigger single turbo. If so many people do it with the supra I think I'd stay away from twin turbo charging the evo. Not much benefit and probaly alot of cost to do it I would think.
