Twin turbos on a Ram TRX

[rschap1]

OK, gotta ask...why???
Wouldn't it be easier, more efficient, cheaper, to just tune and crank the supercharger boost??
I know you might loose the supercharged AND turbo'd factor, but ...

Same thing reason you lift a Raptor. Take off all the expensive stuff that makes it a Raptor and replace it. If you’re going to be dumb, it helps to be rich.

Easier and cheaper, yes. The most power? No.

Why?

People race things. Including trucks. People even drag race and road race semi tractors.

When you race vehicles, you always want more power.

The blower is using power to move air. At the same boost level on a TRX, you can get nearly 100 "free" HP by running turbos instead of a blower.

You also open up the ability to change your boost using a boost controller.

Of course you also get turbo lag too....

Looks like it has a horrible overbite

Ripatuned is legit. But, I'm very surprised there is no dyno sheet. They had to have tuned this thing on a dyno. If they didn't, RUN don't walk away.

There was a company called STS that made a rear-mount turbo setup like this for the SRT10 back in the day. It was responsible for killing many, many Viper trucks. I couldn't imgagine what that kind of boost spike would do to a supercharged engine like the 6.2L but it probably wouldn't be good.

I hope somebody somewhere on a TRX forum started a "Worst Mods Ever" thread. This one ticks nearly every box. At least it doesnt have LINEX on the hood.
