Ive done lots of searchin and i have not come across a 240sx that has twin turbos. Is it possible? I did get an idea...i saw a corvette that had twin turbos and they were both in the back by the exhaust..not sure how they did it. but it was pretty awsome, and i might have only worked because it had dual exhaust. any opinion or knowledge is greately appreciated.

Twin turbo on an 240 (or any 4 cylinder for that matter) is kinda dumb. Not enough room, and the benefits aren't worth it.

What you saw was a remote mount turbo setup. 4 cylinder's don't really have enough exhaust velocity to utilize a remote mount turbo system.

The reason the v8 had 2 turbos is because there are 2 different headers. It is harder to run single turbo on a V engine configuration.

Yes it's possible, though almost entirely pointless on an inline engine to run parallel twins.

Even everybody that gets the rb26dett and 2j just goes with a single turbo upgrade. No point on a 4 cylinder at all really.
