What if: Building an Inline Six Torque Monster

Not understanding what my idea means does not disqualify it as a valid idea - or are you going to say next that Toyota Supras (Inline 6, sequential turbos) don't have good on-the-street driveability.

I'm a fan of all good engineering ideas, except BMW. They tend to over-design and solve problems that didn't really exist. Still, they have cool technology.

No, I got your idea. And if you had preconceived notions, that's fine as well. I simply wondered how in the world, in 2016, you still had to convince people that turbos were a great idea - that's all.
