yeah, I've had two T3's in my contour too . . . lol
actually, the funniest thing about the twin turbo contour idea, is it would be a nightmare to package (though it is possible, just very expensive and difficult) and would offer no benefit over a properly designed and set up single turbo.
So, virtually no gain (though, pimp factor is increased) and exponentially more effort for a twin over a single in the contour. I'll take the single anyday.

You my friend are a crazy man!! I like your thinking. There is a couple of companies that offer a TT kit for 5.0's.
 In referrence to the earlier posts, I am still pursuing making a TT kit for the contour. And I am still a firm believer that I can get it to work. Wether or not its going to be worth the money in the end. That I can not answer as of yet.

Why pay 6-8 times the amount for something we can build ourselves?
Yes it's on a 5.0L with 8.8CR (Forged everything of course), track heat manifold, CNC ported Canfield heads (got them CHEAP - it's good to know people ), B303 cam (remember for a turbo this is pretty radical but also has 0 overlap and proper valve opening timing)
It should be a monster...

I have read this post and see that everyone is saying that it is damn near impossible to do. If space is the issue, what parts of the engine could be "modified" or relocated to allocate for two turbos? Let's think about this long and hard. Don't just jump and say "HELL NO IT WON"T WORK" because anything can be done with the right amount of money and the proper thinking. Does anyone have any ideas as to what could be done to press them in? I would want a sequential setup if I had two turbos. That is what I am going for if anything can be done. -Bishop

I wish people would invest their ingenious talents on something more worthwhile, such as figuring out a way to convert our vehicles to RWD or AWD, as opposed to increasing our bling-bling per hp ratio's. I'd much rather tear up the drag strip than my tire strip.

What is so wrong with a sequential TT setup?
I think that would be a great advance for the Contour.

besides having a super-cramped engine bay, making it nearly impossible, and if its even possible, would cost alot of money. people with the streetflight kit, which spools up very fast, have lots of traction problems, imagine having the sequential TT setup. turbo 1 gives amd bottom end power, unable to gain traction, at higher RPMs the bigger turbo kicks in, once again, unable to gain traction.
bottom line: unless you got more money than brains your better off just buying the streetflight setup
