Message	That's the big hangup. We have two 3 cylinder 1.5L engines on each side pushing each turbo. On an inline 6 or even the RX-7, you basically have one big engine and exhaust outlet for that single turbo. That is why there is benefit there. On a V motor, you have to deal with tons of complex piping, a cramped engine bay and then you'll have to do a ton of other work to get it to perform properly. I wont go into the details, but part of Joel's expense wasn't just parts... Anything is possible...but not everything should be a "kit".
