CAT C18 Rebuilding ~ Réfection moteur CAT C18

interesting parallel turbo setup. when i first saw the normally mounted turbo i was a bit confused because of the size of the compressor housing, then i noticed the second turbo at the backside of the engine. certainly a different approach to twin turbos on a diesel. most iterations are series turbos with compounded pressure ratios through the turbos themselves not a air merge after the two compressors.

Any idea how much torque a c18 puts out?
