Default Compound Turbo Setup Questions

So im getting ready to build a compound turbo setup on my 4bt. Now i got a few questions on how to spool the larger turbo. And i got to thinking the more air i can push thru it the quicker it will spool. So I drew a picture of what I was thinking.




Or would you just recommend running it like this.



Thoughts and opinions. Flame away if you must but at least explain why it wont work.

There's only one realy way to do compounds. Your second pic. There's a reason thats how people have been doing it forever and ever .

Just make sure the exhaust goes through the little turbo first, and the intake goes through the big turbo first.

Those other two (first and third) are interesting concepts, but I think the second is going to easily be the most effective.

And ditto to what madmike said.
