DAMN!!! I'm really surprised he can fit all of that under the hood. 2 turbos and an AMG supercharger!!!??? That thing must fly.

Here is the link with the actual creator of this monster. Hes going to produce it, but without the Supercharger. TT only, will push it to the 450 range. Thats still damn good.

Complete overkill and absolutley uneccessary!!!!!

The shop that did the work has some amazing skills, but why?????? All that to run 1.8 BAR. Guys do that all the time with a single turbo!!!! The only good the SC does is add bottom end torque but with the STI and AWD, launching at 5000rpm is doable, so there's no real need for something to spool the turbo's at lower rpms. Add all that together and all you get is 400whp and 6mpg!!!

Complete waste of time and money.

Waste of time...that's just a tuning nightmare!! His power goals could have been accomplished with the use of ONE turbo. I have a feeling the car was just built to promote the shop...I HOPE atleast....

Nice fabrication.
Also good idea about the compound charging. Should get the turbo's spooled pretty fast.

Great idea for a setup imo.

Not impossible. VW has a turbo supercharger coming out next year for the Golf GT. They call it the Twincharger.

I posted a thread about it not to long ago. I have to find it.

Why stupid??
The drivability should be great, no turbo lag, instant power.

Stupid because it has far too much power. The WRX bodies aren't incredibly strong. If you've ridden in one you know what I mean. It feels like you're sitting in a tin box. Instant power yes but holy crap you better be careful with it. I would love to have a twincharged car but the immense amount of power in this car is ridiculous. I hope to god he stiffened the chassis and did alot of suspension tuning. Otherwise this car should not be on the streets. There's far too much power, I just don't think it should be on the streets. It should be a track car. Of course there aren't much details on the car so I could be wrong, maybe it is a track car.

How can you fit all that stuff under the hood of that car? Especially under the hood of a WRX It looks pretty neat but damn how much power do you need....

who cares, its a tax writeoff for him, great advertising, and no lag anywhere in the power band which you would get with 1 turbo.

I think it kicks *** he takes it to Glamis here in East San Diego to race on the sand dunes, not just a show car.
