I think Wiki is right, that's how I understood it too.
Twin = 2 of the same.
Bi = Just means that there are 2, which can be 2 of the same or 2 in sequence.
Hence, Twin-turbo = Bi-Turbo, but Bi-Turbo is not necessarily = Twin-turbo.

Bi means two. Twin means two. There is NO difference.
There is obviously a difference between sequential and parallel, but you're not going to find it with bi and twin nomenclature.

If im correct, Which I think i am...
Twin turbo is 2 diffrent size turbos, that spool at diffrent times.
Bi turbo is 2 of the same size turbos that spool together..
Bi turbo requires funky intercoolers like ours, with 2 inlets and 2 outlets, as to where twin can be ran much like single turbo with 1 inlet and 1 outlet on the intercooler...
I think thats right?
