My need for manufacturing/engineering is being fueled constantly :)

I've got the idea of a triple/compound turbo setup. A very future goal, but a unique one. A larger turbo sitting up front that feeds the twins in a compound setup. I'm no turbo guru, so where are my weaknesses in my theory? And how can the wastegates be sync'd correctly as I'm sure some electronic controller will be needed.

Intake: Filter > large turbo > fmic > Y pipe to twins > smic > intake

Exhaust: this would be tricky. I'm guessing the larger would still be before the twins in the exhaust flow? Or could you go in place of the current down pipes instead to a Y pipe that feeds the exhaust side flange of the larger turbo, then it's exhaust goes to the muffler? My brain hurts, it's too late :facepalm:

Oil and coolant wouldn't be necessary for the larger turbo as I would use something like the CT3-6767 Billet Triplex turbo which uses sealed ceramic bearings.

What would be the purpose of this?? More power?? To be different??
I would think using a small turbo to spool up a larger turbo is the way to go.
Or how about getting rid of the AC, and using a super charger in its place to spool the twins.
Just rambling out loud

Traditional compound setups go Big turbo, small turbo. And I like my AC as I live in Florida. Both, creativity and more power would be the goal.
