? you mean something like the 335i/535i?

I don't think it'll be as easy as their's a I6, thus both turbos are on the same side sharing their exhausts on one side, whereas the 350 is a V, thus 3 on each side... twin turbo can be done, like the 350Z/G35 with greddy kits etc, but expensive either way, so supercharge is the cheap and easy option.

If someone comes out with a kit probably, but I doubt anyone here would do a custom turbo (at least not yet).

I am very interested, if the price is reasonable...(unlike TOM'S).

I missed my SupraTT, I had it mod to 550HP on wheel.

A good twin turbo will cost around $15k easily. That is not including other components. We offered a stroker kit for the 1uz, 2uz and 3uz and there wasn't any interest.
