DuMaurier 7....i just want to say, you are cool. I would love to have that setup. Im thinking about a half bridge as well, but worried about engine life and i'm unsure of other precautions to take to undergo this. As of now im still trying to figure out what turbo i want to go with (most likely 60-1) i was thinking about a twin setup, but not sure yet, i need to look more into it and find out more about what i would need etc. Can you guys help me out on that? I would like to know what i would need for a twin setup and i would just like to know as much as possible. Thanks.

yes 2mpg is a gross exaggeration....but its pretty close too it...
i know what "i am speaking about"....it leaves me to wonder if ur not letting yourself realize that a pp big turbo car is streetable but really isnt smart...punch the gas in rain, spin

No it isn't the same as a pp , but similar in one way that makes them more alike than you think , both types introduce some overlap into the equation , how much overlap is totally dependant on how aggressive the porting is done , overlap is what spools a "BIG BOY".
I agree with you in a sense , by the fact that I think a "whole " PP is too HARDCORE for the street and would be a BITCH to drive /handle, but thats my opinion , there are guys down here who drive those things on the street everyday and are quite happy with them , its a matter of taste like anything else.
To strike a compromise and get a bit of both worlds one can do what myself and many before have done , go halfway or mix the porting. Mine is bridged and street ported there is also partial pp where there are small "auxiliary" pp's used with the normal street port , if you like you can even mix the bridge porting with the pp porting , the list can go on and on it's up to you, any of these combinations can be used sucessfully with less of the drawbacks you point out (and blatantly exaggerate to try and force a point).As I said before the individual needs to sit and think about what he wants to achieve and at what cost , do some research and speak to people who KNOW (by actual experience , not hear say) and go for it , you wont be disappointed .
