You set yourself up with the inheritence comment. These dudes punchin a clock are gonna always be ____ed when they hear that someone else has the bucks. I would not feel bad though, its no fault of yours that someone died.

"Blue was old. . . thats just what old people do . . . they die."

Im in debt about 80k from law school, if youre feeling generous, send a few clams my way.

Ummm I tried to read as many of the pages as possible, and didn't see this refernce, but if it's known already, my apologies.

The following is a link to a video for a twincharged tC at SEMA. There is a Hyndai commercial prior to it but with patience, you will get to it in time.

Cool car, but if youre going to drop 80k on a Tc, I would urge you to swing by a Dodge or GM dealer and look at the Viper or the new Z06 before making a mistake.

Look at that car, custom from the ground up. I would bet that when you factor in parts/labor that car in the vid is worth well over 80k.

Of course it CAN be done. But unless you are running high amounts of boost on the turbo (lots of lag and delay) then it is really pointless to do. The main point in sequentially charging like this is to smooth out the delay and provide boost down low. For most of the boost numbers being run, the compressors these days can spool up fairly quickly. If you are running HUGE amounts of boost, then you are probably racing and dont care about low rpm power to start with.

I am all for fun projects, regardless of a good or bad investment (I mean come on, we are here on earth to enjoy SOME of our time.. it doesnt have to be justified or practical all the time!) but in this case I see no point, especially considering the huge amounts of custom work to be done for practically no benefit. And I do have to say.. if I were dropping 80k on power alone, it would be on a fully loaded 06/07 vette. That car has become one of the new measuring sticks for performance these days (it even beat on the 911 turbo in comparisons.. squeaking past it over all)... so if I wanted to spend big bucks to go that fast I would be shopping for a true sports car, not a fwd.
