Default quad turbo?

my buddy claims that "his friend has already paid 10k for a quad turbo and it is on the way for his sc430." when i explained that i had never heard of a quad turbo for the sc430, he said it was brand knew. and the 10k seems crazy when a single turbo for my car can cost 16k. back me up - hes lieing, right?

What the heck is a quad turbo and where in the world would you find room in the engine compartment to install it.. I think he is pulling your leg..

thank you. i almost doubted myself.

yes, for 10k, hell i'd sell my car and get the cash for a quad turbo on the sc430. but 10k would never do it - how would you get the power to the ground? the mod's youd have to do to support the four turbos...astronomical $$$. not just a bolt on.

as for quad turbo, the only car i have ever seen it done successfully on is a bugatti veyron, and that has two v-8s.

thank you for the reasureance. i will now proceed to chastise and ridicule my friend incessantly.
