Arrow Question About Turbo Options/Config

I have a 93 fastback and don't want rediculous power. I was looking at the Greddy Twin Turbo kit then the front mount intercooler. Then Maybe Some Cams And An Exhaust and hopefully push around 280 hp, and i will be content. Is This feasable? with a little tuning? they claim their kit make the ka push around 225 hp.

Also i read somewhere i guy had dual blow off valves but i don't think it was on a twin turbo, whats that all about? it was on a sti.

Twin Turbo on an inline 4? That's kinda a little overkill man. If you build the KA-T, if thats what you're going for, a regular turbo at 8 psi can push 250hp and around that amount of torque at the wheels.

Well thats what i thought, but i sware reading the GReddy one was a twin, maybe lets them use two small turbos, don't know for sure. Might be a single turbo. 8 PSI wouldn't have my engine in shreds i wouldn't think.

It will mess up your engine if you don't do it right. A lot of people have cooling problems after boosting their KAs.

personally I've been through FIVE Ka's Every one of the had a spun rod bearing. They do not like to sit a high revs for a bit(autocross or something like that). I went to the sr because already boosted, minor bolt ons and you have 250 at the wheels and a lot more respect from any import fan
