[QUOTE="tt335ci03cobra, post: 15123285, member: 68944"] If you go twin charged, you'll want to pulley back to stock, and get a stock blower. The mill will be too stressed if you run a ported/pullied combo. A twin charge system will place so much manifold pressure into the setup that it won't last very long on 15-22psi through the blower. That would lead to something like 40+ manifold psi which is a time bomb. A good single kit can be fabbed for around $3000 if you have experience doing turbo builds, and only need the turbo components. The first time would be very tricky. A 66-76mm turbo with billet wheel and ball bearings is $1100+, the bov and wastegate are another $500-750, and those prices are assuming you find some deals/used but very healthy parts. That leaves $900-650 to put the rest together which again if you know exactly what your fabbing, and cut/weld perfect the first go, can be done, but I wouldn't go for it. If it's your first custom build, I would budget $7500-10,000. You'll need suspension, cooling like an intercooler, water lines, etc, tuning, possible fuel mods and definitely will run into issues. My first turbo build was, on paper, a breeze, $6k later in unplanned expenses it made 900/920whp/tq but it took a bit of time and fine tuning. Going twin charge would add lots of tuning and drivability issues into the work. Getting a maf to live and talk is a challenge, it's just a messy setup. [/QUOTE]
