Idea: Twin Intercooled Options

[Inferno]

Several people have inquired in the past about Twin Turbo. More recently it was discussed that a Twin Turbo setup on a four-cylinder is completely pointless. We all know that turbo's create unwanted heat. I had the idea, while sitting in class today, of a Twin Intercooled engine. I don't know if anyone has ever done it, but I'd like to ask about it.

We all know that the 3S-GTE has a Top Mount Intercooler. I've read threads about putting a FMIC (Front Mount Intercooler) on a 3S-GTE engine. People have said it is possible, but it would need custom piping. So, this brought about the idea of a Twin Intercooled engine.

I figured if a person could mount a FMIC on a 3S-GTE (with custom piping of course), then why couldn't they simply connect it to the TMIC and have double the cooled air charge. I figure it would keep a high-powered engine MUCH cooler than normal. I also figured it was possible since there isn't a FMIC stock with the 3S-GTE engine, therefore there is the space to do it with.

Get back to me, people! I appreciate all who contribute!

If you were to run both a TMIC and a FMIC you probably wouldn't benefit much. The added capacity of both intercoolers would most likely be so much that it would lower the pressure, therefore making less boost by the time it gets to your engine.
