Rover V8 quad Turbo
Hi
I am new to the group
I have recently got hold of a Quad turbo Rover V8 SDI engine.
Can anyone tell me if they have seen one before and is there any pics of one
Regards Mike

Re: Rover V8 quad Turbo
4 turbos ?
Seems rather pointless and complicated when one or two will do the job.

Re: Rover V8 quad Turbo
Quite strange indeed...what was the actual application ?
There really is no need for it, but interesting all the same.

Re: Rover V8 quad Turbo
What am I missing - I can only see two turbos - not four!
So Bi-Turbo, not Quad turbo

Hello,
I got my hands on a Rover V8 ALBERT Turbo years ago.
In similar condition.



But four turbos seem a bit much to me.
Can you take a few more pictures from a bit further away and lower down? Then you'll see the turbos better.
Best, Frank
