@BrandonG08 I'm not trying to come off as a butthole and a dream crusher but it sounds like you're doing a little daydreaming. You went from trying to keep a budget w e7's and an e303 to talking about twin turbos. Do some researching on the turbo stuff, it gets expensive. Twin turbos aren't a bolt on and go type deal, it'll turn into a major build. costing mucho deñero my friend. A far cry from budget building with junkyard explorer heads. If you want power and want it now and you have a spare $3k or so to put in your car your best bet is to put that cam in that you bought and buy the Vortech v3 kit 6-8 lb boost. You'll come out with more power than if you went with the average "budget friendly" topend kit for a tad cheaper. If $3k sounds pretty expensive then twin turbos are too far out of reach.
The facts of life.

We spool that mid frame 88mm pretty quick with this lil 363. If we weren't worried about drive pressure I'm sure we could go to a smaller exhaust housing and spool faster

Don't forget your Dart block and forged interals or you'll be stuck at home.
