I've only ever seen single-turbo applications for the SR20DE (add a T for the turbo) ... applying a multiple-turbo setup might be possible ... but useless.
This car, however, looks to be >/= 2002 (my guess is that it's an 04 or 05 judging by tail-lights) model year when Nissan began using the dopey 2.5 liter I-4 ... and I don't believe this motor readily accepts any turbo - much less two of them.

I don't understand the bashing on this sentra. It's a semi light weight car that can be made to handle well. It could probably outhandle most of our lexus's on an autoX course.
Let's step back and take it all into perspective. Many of us own 2000+ lb cars. Some near and surpass the 3000 lb mark. Yet we also put big brake set ups and suspension set ups on our cars. On some days, I would call all lexus's mediocre performance cars.
Does this mean that we, lexus owners, shouldn't put performance parts on our cars either?

That aside - like wantAnewLex said - I don't think that the "ultra Brembo brake performance" package (or whatever it's called) includes ABS.
Also ... I do believe that every Lexus vehicle (in factory condition) weighs well over 3000 lbs.

Well, here's the thing about the Sentra's handling ... the multilink rear setup screws it up pretty badly; that on top of the fact that it's not exactly riding on one of the most rigid chassis' out there (not even in the segment).
