There's nothing you do with eight trubos that you can't do with two well positioned turbos. Definitley a one of a kind, though.

I read his tech sheet. He says 750 @ 5800, 13.5 psi......
.....so each turbo is putting out less than 2 psi.

Its just for show.

I have know a few guys who do the Squires Turbo Systems on their LS1s and some of the fastest vehicles I ever see rolling at the track, but they also have the highest failure rate of any vehicle that comes to the track. Last time each of them showed up, broken axle for one and broken cams!!!$$$ ouch for the other.
