Default What if??

If I was to use my stock turbo..hx35, and a possible s300 as a COMPOUND turbo, would that work? How would I set that up? Anyone made a homemade COMPOUND set up? What all would I need?

just run the 300 as a single and save up for a 475 or similar to run on bottom. even a 465 would be nice. but your best investment for the cash is get rid of the superchips and get a edge comp since you have gauges.

seems cheap probably needs sent in and repaired for another $100 bucks. But still a good deal at 300

I made my own COMPOUNDS with a stock HX35 and a S400. Works awesome, excellent driveability, and less then $700 as the S400 fell in my lap.

i may be stumbling upon a good used hx40, for next to nothing.. its not possible to run that as a compound is it? how did you mount the other turbo? i really wanna make my own compound set up, just completely retarded in this department.

This may help:

An HX40 is too small for a compound set up. Better off making an HX35/40 hybrid with the HX40
