A 2.1 project then? is this the next step for your sedan?
I was tempted to try the same thing myself, but maybe on the next car as im pretty happy with the current setup.
I would defiantly recommend a twin scroll turbo as you can cruise along all day at 70mph hardly using any boost, then soon as you plant your foot down the pull is almost instant. do some research into lgv and truck turbos, not sure how much more room the 2.1 lump takes up than the 1.9, but i cant see gearbox mounting a turbo the same way I have been an issue. really interested to see how this works out as if its successful it may be the push i need to start my next build
