Maybe so but you really don't have to justify yourself to us. There's
nothing wrong with changing the plan.

Not only that but you also got to consider the reliability of the G60.
Especially with the stage 3 system.

Id say since Tim does a zillion turbo projects, id say that you should
get ahold of Tim at ND and find out what he thinks the best combo that
you're looking for is. Id say he's got to be a leading authority on any
turbo project you could dream up from mild to wild.

Sounds like a cool project. (read Reiger envy) What about adding NOS to
the whole system?? Ive heard that there is a 1.5L honda using about 35lbs
of boost that has 635hp! Now that's amazing! (Yeah, its also squeezing)
