  Agreed. Twin is way to much. But much more easier than plumbing one turbo 
on a V8 in my opinion. I plan on running very very small Turbos. Like off a 
1.8L  4 cyl. or smaller stock vehicle. This is more of a curiosity 
experonment then a race car. I want super fast spooling as i plan to make 
this a torque monster and plan on no more then 6000rpm rev limit, to optimize 
the characteristics of the L98's TPI power band. I wish to achieve around 
500hp ATRW for nothing more then just enuff rump to smoke C5's and run in the 
11 sec or so mark. 
   
    I have done alot with engines but never like this, and thats why im on 
this list. Trying to not only learn how to tune ECM's (anyone have Dia Com 4 
sale??) but to convert NA ECM's to work with Forced Induction and NOS 
systems...
