twins

Would it be worth the money and time to buy a slightly used stock turbo and rig my own twin setup? If so how hard would it be?

Why stock over stock?

The better idea would be more volume into second turbo. Like stock turbo and then a turbo that can feed it a lot more air..

or why not a bigger turbo replacement?

uhm when u say a slightly used stock turbo does that mean your trying to TWIN two turbos that are the same size?

If so that's a total negative...Ive always been told when going TWIN get a small turbo and larger turbo...small spools fast and the large provides the big boost....idk if that helped you at all or if i just totally missed the whole jest of your question but that's my input lol

No you will need a much larger charger for your primary, like double the size. Also to be honest your stock charger on the LB7's don't work as good as the VVT chargers when twind

what you get with 2 stock turbo's is the same power as before but with twice the lag.

sorry just not something that works. i wish it did i know how much the money situation. sucks
