Maybe you can try this after exhausting every possible alternative for getting the very last ounce of power from the A-Series turbo by the more conventional methods... But i'd have thought Fuel injection would be a much bigger gain....

could you not modify the turbo carbs to run as a twin set up?

Well If you were silly enough to try before doing the more conventional route, Twin HIF38 would be the only way to go.

i guess with twins you would minimise the risk of running lean on the inner cylinders? or is the outer cylinders? can't remember now!! |

it's a lot of work to fit twin carbs, altering internals to seal them under boost, making a plenum etc etc.
