Biturbo is just German for having two turbos. It's pronounced "Bee-Turbo".

Default I think that's backwards
I think twin turbo is supposed to mean two of the same, like we have. And Bi-turbo means two turbos, not necessarily the same. in reality, the two terms are used interchangeably which I hate.

Exactly. I can't believe the arguments for something that's just a synonym and language issue.
