Bloody typical
You start a project like this because work is a bit quiet then breakdowns come in, your tractor springs a water leak and parts turn up to rebuild a quad bike:cool:
But I managed to squeeze in a bit of time to start the set up.
First up is a shot of the Schwitzer mounted up as we have run it.

Now a close up of the Schwitzer as promised

Then we wizzed up some flanges and tacked the Garrett into position to make sure it cleared everything. Only tight sqeeze I can see will be the inlet hose from the air cleaner to the Schwitzer. I am thinking of a piece of 3" PVC heated and flattened slightly to fit between the shock tower and the AC Comp and hoses. Will pick up some silicone bits tomorrow and mock up the garrett intake and outlet.

Very nice!!! Good to see progress unlike myself :angel:
I am not to up on compound setups as I dropped the idea awhile ago but I always thought that the usual way of doing the setup is : hot side =exhaust manifold-Hp turbine inlet-LP turbine inlet-exhaust....cold side= air cleaner-LP inlet LP outlet-HP inlet, HP outlet-intake of motor....
Obvious variations in wastegating and regulations etc etc
Yep searched all that , BUT without making another manifold etc and spending a heap of cash, which I dont have the above set up is what we can do with what we have. The schwitzer's inlet is split as it is non wastegated so basically 1/2 of the engines exhaust is bypassed through it anyway!!. Yep got the cold side sorted, note the photos are showing the current single turbo air set up.;)Quote:

Auh all good...I'm not 100% sure what you mean by split ? If it is what I am thinking the Schweitzer has a turbine inlet divider which points to it being off a 6cyl of some description...I am curious to see the pro's and con's for how your setup will be compared to other methods... Looks like there is more room than under my bonnet :(Quote:

Hey this is just a throw it all together feed it fuel and air and see what happens:D Probably wont work but hey one way to find out.

Yeah why not sounds like its worth a shot for sure...will be very interesting...Quote:

I think you need to reverse the position of those two. Otherwise you need a very complex switchover system with bypass valves on both the exhaust and the intake side. It's become a sequential system rather than compound.
Getting the timing and control of those bypass valves will be critical, but even with good control you will have a dip in your boost as the small turbo is bypassed.
If you plumb it up with the GT2052 as a single and then the schwitzer over that, i.e. compound, it'll require almost no intervention besides wastegating to control boost levels.
