I definately can't compete with yours, but I AM going to attempt a totally custom twin turbo setup. I've been researching, talking to people who know, and going over numbers for a good month now and I'm expecting to do a complete twin turbo setup with 100% brand new parts installed and tuned for $4,000-$4500. We'll see how it goes. I'm starting as soon as the supercharger gets sold.

Rock on buddy! Good luck with your project and selling your blower. I would love to see some kick *** results! Congrats for having the bravery to figure all that stuff out. I am just not there yet in terms of forced induction knowledge

So far the definite mods are:

50# injectors
Remove PVC and install oil catch can
Move FPR to the rail
Blower cam
Retune

I'd do more, but I'm looking to change jobs so I gotta keep an eye on the money.

Install the catch can but do not remove the PVC it's the metering device in the system.

Looking real hard at adding an alky injection system, ECS has a GP going on now of $550.00.

Short of buying a car cover for winter storage I'm done for a while. I think I'm already flirting with the useable power limit for the street.
