Default twin turbo setup

can you use a turbo from a 7.3 to do a twin turbo set on a 6.0?

I'm not that informed on setups for twins. I do know you need a smaller unit pushing the bigger unit. So if the 7.3 is smaller it could work. I currently don't know of or have ever read of a non-vgt turbo set up too feed a VGT turbo.

I do think that is the purpose of the VGT. To act like a different turbo (smaller/larger) depending on engine demand.

Most twin setups are a custom design so to speak. There are some shops that will sell a kit but it's best to give them the keys so you can just write a check at the end.

When they do a two stock turbo setup, do they run them in parallel or series?
Do they feed one bank of cylinders with one turbo and the other bank with the 2nd turbo, or do they feed one turbo into the other turbo?

Twins feed one another. Use a smaller turbo to push the larger turbo. Two stock 6.0 turbos are not used for a twin turbo setup.
