You becha I'm grouchy. Try waiting TWO WEEKS for a friggin $3 acorn nut to finish a swap you've been anticipating for two years!
God only knows the pain you'd go through if TWO turbos were involved.
Complexity, cost, and weight aside, the cool factor of twin turbos is irresistable. Did I mension weight? 930 engines weigh over 500 pounds. Now strap on another turbo, another wastegate, and all the added plumbing. Better get out the 35mm t-bars for this pig.
Now with all that said, I've toyed with the idea of twin turbocharging the 3.3t many many times. Got lots of ideas down on paper. The look is just too cool, but I see no real power gain for the big dollars it would cost to do it right. There would also be a real loss in durability given the fact that you cannot use tuff factory parts (a tiny aftermarket oil line causes a world of hurt if it blows a hundred miles from home).
My car is a driver not afraid of long distant hauls. This is important to me. A real hotrod weekend warrior would be pretty cool though.
