from what i understand a big single is good for mid and top end and a small single is good for low end so wouldnt a compound turbo setup offer the benefits of both?

i understand there is going to be some power loss because of restricted flow but wouldnt the power from boost make up for the lack of exhaust flow?

i saw something like this on a 350z, it had the stillen roots blower and the STS rear mounted turbo kit
