And yeah, that's the old style buttdyno. It's off by about 5%.

Feel free to school me on a TT setup. Is it not possible to use a big and small turbo on a parallel setup, then? That was always my assumption of how TT'd cars worked
It wouldnt really work out because you would build very different exhaust pressure on each side of the engine. You would run into bizarre individual cylinder tuning issues. You would also severely choke the cylinders in the bank on the small turbo side as they would have a lot of trouble breating at higher RPM, making those 3 cylinders less useful.

You could do lots of complex plumbing to get both turbos plumbed to both banks, but its not worth the hassle, weight, heat, complexity.
