If u have a twin turbo is the idea that one spins up faster than the other ?

Eh, i always though you had one small and one larger turbo so that, you have the small turbo spinning up first , then the second one spools up and increases the boost even more, and so LAg is reduced

Or is it they use 2 smaller turbos than usually so they both spin up quickly and provide more boost together.

it will work wank on a 4 pot, its alright on v engines cos each bank of 5 cylinders will have its own turbo, sorta like having 2 engines, there is absolutely no point in doing it to a corsa td engine cso u can run the standard turbo at 2 bar anyway and that kills the engine, you will blow the head in a matter of minutes.

ok, 2 T1 or even 0.5 turbo's can run .7 bar between them but spool up very quickly

but what would be the point in that when you can run that on 1 turbo, it wouldnt make much difference if any. better off just getting a fcuk off big intercooler and whacking to boost up.

ok, standard spools at 2000 so 2 even smallerones would spin up even lower, maybe even at 1000 rpm (no looked at details that much!!) then all you need to do is raise idle speed to match and would have no lag at all
