My goals? Hmm, road racing, occasional drag run, and highway driving. BTW, just to make this a bit more impossible, this car will be my daily driver.

I can take a guess as to why he hasn't gotten the thing running.

you know with IGY's setup he was boosting 8 psi...let me say it again...<span style='font-size:21pt;line-height:100%'>8 PSI</span> and was making over 400 rwhp.



How in the HELL is that minimal? His wastegate would barely open in 1st Gear!
You can make 400HP on a single for a lot cheaper than his proposed twin setup. That was my point.

But Scre isn't going for "only" 400 rwhp or the "cheap" route. He's doing it to be different and make lots of HP...plus bragging rights of having a very unique setup.
