It was so dam fast. I had a turbonetic wastegate at 7psi and it would destroy the tires at 70mph when i got boost lol. But other than the fact that you have barley any boost, i had a 50mm tial bov and still i would blow a charge pipe off everytime i would shift no matter what i did to hold them things together. it was cool and big and fun to pop my hood but it wasnt worth the time an money, specially on my daily driver
The turbo can be made to spool without nitrous, too. Look at the exhaust housing, splog it and be done.

Or make your log without a bridge between 2 & 3 and run the log output of 1 & 2 into half of a flange and 3 & 4 into the other half. Kinda like 2 2-cyl logs on one exhaust flange or a miniram of sorts. Hey, it might work.
Here I whipped this up real fast. The el's and 90*'s are water pipe or whatever you have. Will it work, yea or nay?
