why would you even think about putting a TT on a 4cylinder that has no potential at all..?

sarcasm?

learn more about turbo's or FI in general and you will retract this question.

people, and i mean a handful or people, have done it but there were no better gains than that of a single turbo setup.

Why stop at 2?

4 small turbos would be the best bet.

You might as well keep it for a daily driver and use the money from Iraq to pay it off and THEN get an STi or EVO.
