I was thinking about that as well - I should dust off my Fluids/Thermo book and figure out how 8 smaller turbos would compare to one or two big turbos. I would think it would take less time to spool, but not create as much boost. He's not drawing that much power nonetheless for a heck of a lot of work/money...
Give me three more turbo's and I'll try it - using pvc, recip. saw, and some duct tape.
