Its still gonna be as slow as ever, why would single turbo make you faster? better have some replacement headgaskets ready. put some heads on it and some arp headstuds and then it'll be worthwhile.

Lemme know how the Chinese HKS holds up, my buddy has one lying around and I'd throw it on something if it works.
