that is true^ you have a compound set up. not twins. peope often mistake them. and you might even have to move your heat exchanger for the trans cooler. and as i said. the exact same set up was on my truck and it sucked!!! dont even waste your time trying to do it unless you want to lose power

twins are 2 turbos that feed the intake independantly and compounds are when one turbo feeds another turbo and that feeds the intake, Most V8s would have a twin setup for example, one turbo on either side of motor that feeds the intake manifold. compounds are called that because they "compound " the air. when you take 20psi and alot of volume and put that into another turbo that can produce 40psi you are capable of moving more air volume and pressure without alot of lag waiting for One Big turbo to spool up
