this is already done on most inline turbo cars. Bi-turbo is the expression used to describe it. Twin turbo is when a car has 2 turbos that are the same size on each bank, bi-turbo is when an inline car has two turbos, one smaller that the other. The small one usually comes first int he exhaust system to spool quickly for low end and the larger one feeds off the excess exhaust to make power for top end. Very simple concept but not useful to a stock SVX motor. Compression spools a turbo but also keeps engine from running too much boost. it is a double edge sword for most. The ideal turbo for an svx is a larger one. Since it is running off 6 cyclinders worth of 10to1 compression it will spool fairly quickly and still provide a good top end. I am not too familiar with turbos or what they can do for what cars, i am a supercharger/ N/A kinda guy. More people have better info than me but this is what I know about the subject
