Turbocharging the NISMO

I say go twin turbo for street use. Just do it the right way if you plan to push the car a lot. As with any forced induction, you trade reliability and longevity for that power. If you're building a track car, there are far more effective uses for 10 grand without having to go forced induction. ....and 10 grand is the low side for the kit plus install cost. Be prepared to set aside at least $15k-$20k total to account for any unforeseen expenses.

Yep, at Sumo's it took about 15k with everything going right. You can do majority of the install to save some money, if anything.

I agree. 15k-20k is about right. And if anything greater than 500 whp, it could be tricky coz you'd be spending more money rebuild a stroke motor. 500 whp is the safe limit for the stock motor.
