Don't do audio go with the supercharged twin turbo instead. Since you gotts all the $$$ are you gonna try and get the BLITZ Twin turbo for Japan. Oh by the way your car looks GREAT. I wish it was mine!!

dang dude, you have one sick IS. Those WP's are insane, my freind has them on his Volvo 855R but only 6 pistons.
The only thing I'm not a fan of is the stickers, but its your car, keep up the amazing work

Fair enough. Needless to say it looks good, but as far as function goes it is a bit overt.

So when you say "supercharged twin turbo" do you literally mean throwing a twin turbo set-up on your car in ADDITION to the supercharger you already have? If so, wouldn't simply running a twin turbo set-up be far more practical? Or if you still want to be radical, go with a supercharger and a massive single turbo.

Don't be fooled by the appearance. Tires do the stopping.
