I'm sure you could. Various automakers have done the twin charged thing in the past. The only problems I can think of are the possible lack of space and making sure you've fortifed the intrenals to keep it from going out grenade style.

yeah, well my turbo and all of the bulk is mounted remote style, under the vehicle... and the blitz compressor mounts to the intake manifold, so im thinking it could work..

and plus, i believe raceprecision and rollhard are working on creating a internal package, with pistons, and most important new wrist pins... i think this will actually work...

would be pretty cool, but why not just switch to a bigger turbo? cheaper, easier to tune, and much better results if you're planning on building the motor.

the wrist pins on our cars are the first thing to go... from there, pistons shatter, and engine go KABOOM.... rollhard and his company are developing a stage 2 kit for our cars... includes new pistons, rods, and new WRIST PINS... that will keep our engines from detonating to up to 30 psi my friends... serious horsepower, upgraded turbo's... stupid fast boxes flying around

I'm sure we'll be finding out within the next few months. Rollhard's company is going to be installing these new internals on his box first. He is running the intercooled Greddy turbo. They are going to max it out and custom tune the car.

We will probably find out pretty quick what the failing component of the xB drivetrain is with forged internals.
