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

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

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
