    Is support for turbo charged engines prepared to build cars with more turbos (bi-turbo for example) ?

    It is indeed loud but considering turbos can spin at 150 000 rpm I have no reason to think the pitch is at all too high.

    How do you find the CSW with RF2? I'm looking to upgrade from my G25 but just for RF2 and not many of the reviews seem to cover it well. Just looking for general opinions :)

    It's great! G25/G27 are not in the same league. Also you won't get the famous rattling because it's belt driven.

    Good to hear, thanks. Many of the reviews over-analyse and it's hard to get a straightforward "good or bad" from them.

    I'll be doing a multi part review on RAVSim over the coming months, first part should be up next week I hope.

    Maybe there is no limit for amount of turbos? I mean why to do model just for one when doing it for many would be providing more possibilities with relatively small amount of extra work? :D

    Hopefully the system will support multi-stage turbos as well, and it could also be used to model superchargers too by linking the turbo rpm to the engine rpm.

    But Porsche have Twin-Turbo system, not Bi-Turbo. Mazda RX7 Spirit R has Bi-Turbo system and Toyota Supra RZ too.

    I always thought bi turbo was the same as twin turbo just different wording due to maybe different countries /languages, but from what you guys are saying i guess im totally wrong?


    Edit: ok just checked like 4 forums out, they are the exact same just different wording just i think like how non-english speaking europeans call it a compressor instead of a supercharger. Bi means 2, hence the word bi-sexual lol. Bi turbo and twin turbo EXACT SAME THING DIFFERENT WORD.

    Some people on the forums were saying that biturbos had different size turbos for lower and high rpm but twin turbos have the same, thats wrong, thats what you call a sequential vs parallel setup

    It would be nice if the terms were indeed consistently used like that, but unfortunately we must face the fact that people and even companies use biturbo and twin-turbo totally interchangeably.

    If you want to really differentiate between them you should really use the terms parallel (two separate turbos working in parallel), sequential (specific turbos for low and high rev situations) or staged turbo (at least two turbos in sequence where both are constantly working, for example the first turbo triples the intake pressure and the second then triples that, resulting in 9x intake pressure).
