I guess I'm thinking of a totally different situation (in my case: twin 
turbo 5.0L V8).  In contrast, I guess it would be harder to find two 
"small" turbos for a 2.8L V6 (relatively speaking here).  For me, full 
boost is available by 2500 RPM, which is fine and dandy for me!  No slush 
box here.  :)
