And are there any Alpina Turbo cars that don't have 'Bi-Turbo' emblazoned on the boot? Hmmm ....smacks of marketing to me.

You can debate the 'half the engine feeding a small turbo', or 'whole engine feeding a large turbo' all day long. Fact is 'done properly' you can get same performance from either solution.

Packaging helps the twin turbo at times, and on V engines is almost mandatory, so there are reasons for choosing one or the other, not always for performance.....

but one thing is for sure, to the average punter 'twin' is always better than one. Ker-chiiiiiiiing!!!!
You can wriggle, but that's still a beer you owe me

You old cynic you......
