got in a debate about what het 6.4 actually is in turbo setup clasisfication
one says sequential
the following picture is a flow diagram of a sequetanial twin turbo setup it mainly used on gas engines to reduce lag (effect of large single) and high boost (effects of compounds)
OT Cat calls their ACERT twins sequentail turbo... but you look at them both intake and exhaust flows is identical to a compound turbo setup.
i say its a compound turbo
closest thing i have found is this cut away pic which screams compound with the exhaust flow path. the down side is there is now showing how the air flow plumbing is routed
pictures would be very helpful
