that dual blower setup is wierd. A budy o fmine was saying somethign about having harmonic wave issue or somethign when runngin two eqaully non sequential turbos on cars. Somethign abtou eth turbine blades breakign the soudsn barrier and a shockwave traveling througheth e intake to eth other blower and causing premature failure or soem wierd **** like that. I'd think with 2 equal size superchargers runngin at exactly the same rpms off teh same belt tha coudl be an issue.

Harmonics are a very interesting subject. This could be the explanation for a number of unexplained mechanical failures. Some engines for example keep on breaking a certain type of drive even though the drive rating is high enough for the engine's output. I've also seen problems with a specific type of ZF gearbox and the MTU 12V2000 1500hp engine. The engine is sequentially twin turbo-charged and for some reason we think that when the second turbo comes into play around 1700 rpm, the trannie does not like the frequency of engine's vibration. Whether this is what happens with the Torque engine, I do not know. Any physicists out there who could better explain the issue of harmonics?

Couldn't baffe boxes to conjoin the pressurised air and limit the variations of the second unit kicking in help.
Also why not make both turbos gradually generate pressures cojointly instead of one over the other.
But i'm sure a buch of brighter people than my dumb azz tought of that.

Callan Marine did buy Torque Engineering Corporation's assets and then proposed to Sterling to work in a cooperative agreement. This will be an better product when Callan/Sterling start producing it.
