in all seriousness, the hardest part of this is gonna be finding a spot to put the turbo for the back bank.


It's all about balance.

That's probably true, but it will ultimately be limited by budget. Which seems to be pretty large based on the project goals...it will fun to see the results.

I just don't know why they are going for twins for such a low boost level. It just doesn't seem that there is any compelling factor to drive the decision for twin turbo over a single turbo, regardless of budget. I'm guessing pimp factor is driving the decision for twins laugh also, budget has little to do with package constraints when modifying a vehicle laugh

I certainly wish them well in getting things working, I know it is quite possible for them to have a royally kick-arse setup, I hope they get there w/ minimal trouble.
