OK, so the Caravan has come turboed from factory. I dont really know much about this whole system but i would love to twin turbo it. (or would you call it twincharge?) Im looking at something like this.

http://www.autoaccessorystore.com/resource/turbo/electricturbo.asp

Simple and cheap and good solid results. Its such a great idea.

The kit says " This kit boosts your car up with a 15 to 25 Horsepower Increase" , but with my factory turbo if i increase the boost to like 18-19psi and add this, i think i could get another 50-60 hp. Could my engine do that?

The also say " With the installation of a performance chip, your car will be unstoppable." The caravan is unstoppable, but this would make it killer. Where can i pick up an electric turbo and chip here in town? Canadain Tire?

Hmm, seem's sort of cheesy? like one of those bolt on's that insists 70-80hp gain..

I'd read some reviews on it and see if it really is what they say? Dyno slips wouldn't be a bad thing to demand?

See that is the point i was trying to make, actually layne many reputable companies do have dyno sheets showing that their product does actually do what they claim it to.

Just FYI, sequential dual turbo set ups are for acceleration but lack the power potential of a single unit due to parasitic airflow efficiency and dispersed heat from two turbines. Stick with a single unit. In my opinion, you'll need better support mods before you consider a turbo swap.
Seriously though, did you wake up one morning and decided that your goal in life was not to own a sports car, but to race high school kids in a van just to lure them into it with candy? It's difficult to understand your motives, so this has to be an elaborate joke? If not, than God save us.

I think you should buy 2 of theses here electric supercharger and tri-turbo you van. This way you can make more horsepower, increase mileage and maybe they will give you a sweet deal for buying 2.

if your serious about this. ive seen 9 second caravans. but it wouldn't be cheap. would be extrmely elaborate and lots of custom stuff. if you wanta trubo caravan if its early 90's find a 2.5l turbo one and boost it up and go. hard to find but non the less fun.

i saw a caravan rape. i mean rape a 911 porche twin turbo in quarter mile. needless to say i was laughing till it launched and my jaw dropped.

Yeah, those engines aren't really built to handle the power of two turbos. And besides, it's a minivan. I mean it's a neat idea but It wouldn't be all that sweet to actually implement it.
