What would it take to twin turbo my 3.6L engine?
There's a few obvious changes, but my guess is there's a lot more to it.

Could any of the newer factory setups be adapted to fit my engine?

I think mine spools to quick. is that possible? I can get FULLLLL boost by 2000-2500rpm. It makes quick blips of the throttle really fun. Maybe I should let Andy drive mine?

You can only drive as fast as you see, old man (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) But maybe... Beats getting a mustache ride from you (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sheeplove.gif)
