Anyone made a Tri-Turbo engine?

I'm sure i was reading about a w9 tri-turbo engine the other week...
i remember that eliot! it was three banks on three cylinders in a w formation! i think it was 3.0ltr and designed as a race engine! looked very nice.and they were looking to do a tri turbo version that would make about 1000bhp!
will try and find the link!

Ive got a feeling its used the same idea as the vr6 engines, i.e a narrow v.
I tried vr9 w9 etc..

no it used three seperate blocks that joind onto a common crank/sump! was a very impresive peasce of kit and made form billet ally!

Just re-read some of the stuff about that engine - only 13 months from drawings to finished unit ! O.K. the power figures etc. are quoted for methanol but I would really love one of those engines even if it was mounted on a stand as a piece of art in my lounge.

the simple question is why?????
you can back bags of power using a V12 quad turbo or even twin yurbo set up! what is there to gain apart from weight and complexity by running 6 turbos?
you could male fr very fast spooling by limiting the route of the exhay=ust gas at lower rpm to just say 2 turbos. then as the rpm builds you could open the other turvbos up as needed! would be a complex setup and very costly (lots of valves that would have to be electronical controled). and what would the agains be??? EVEN more low down torque but its a v12 its got stacks as it is!
if you are after a quicker spooling setup i would look into other methods. there are loads ranging from a 50shot of N2O or a supercharger to turbo specific cams and anti-lag.
thanks Chris.
