If you go single, then the car will not maintain the driveablity of a v8......with 2 turbos the car remains more "v8 like" with an extra 100+ horsepower

They were selling it on corvette forums. Pretty sick, it is a beautiful kit. There are some stroked 350z's making huge power on the extreme system. It looks like there is a turbo for our car, any info on it? I heard they were building one then they werent. Not that there is a shortage of kick a$$ turbos for our cars.

Where are you going to put a single turbo? The two GT35's barely fit as it is. You'd need a GT-something crazy to make as much power as two GT35s and that'd be one very big turbo. Which would not fit anywhere under the hood.

Only 6psi because it's on a completely stock motor which is designed as a high compression NA motor. Those tend to not like too much boost.
