That would also work. The only issue with twins is the amount of extra work and cost to get it setup. I considered it for mine with 2 x TD05h's or VF34's but CBF doing the extra work... 2 dump pipes... water pipes... oil feeds and returns. One turbo is annoying enough haha.

So, you may say that the end result should be like a 21st century OEM set up . Boring, no kick in the pants .

Sounds like my setup. The reason I ditched the EJ257 for the EG33 /GT35R setup is the ability for the motor to give both huge midrange and good top end power. The GT35R turbo I selected is rather small however it's very linear power and instant response across the entire rev range. If you want a lot of power with the EG33, you really need the GT40R or bigger. I could easily get 1000Nm of torque before 4000 rpm with my setup and a bit more boost - is that enough torque for you?
