    Well since I am never one to do what everyone else is doing I am pondering doing a custom intake with twin M90 SC and a N*TB.

    My biggest reason for this is cause everyone else has done the Turbo and single M90.

    Should be fun. But if I dont go that route I will be going the T66 Turbo boost game.

    I would think it would be a whole lot more fun and a lot easier to just do a turbo upgrade. Twin blowers would seem like a technical nightmare even if you use centrifugal blowers.

    A single turbo set up is going to perform much better than a twin supercharger set up. They aren't useful for anything other than show.

    yeah i have to agree with street, plus they wouldnt be that efficient as the turbo would be
    99 Grand Prix old build- CAI, Custom exhaust, HV3, Stage 2 TB, custom tune, ported heads intense s1x cam, headers.
    Nothing great Just a small T66 Turbo with a Hv3 On a stock tranny untill i finish the other one.

    Well everyone seems to be sorta ****ting on this idea but even if its not super efficient and not as efficient as a turbo it would be pretty neat to see and def unique like your looking for. I would personally like to go the twin charged route and have a turbo feed the supercharger but thats a whole nother ball game as well.

    I've seen a Northstar engine with dual intercooled M90s. So, it's possible.

    Hey man do what you like. If you're not so much looking for top notch performance but instead like you said original setup with more power then stock go for it.

    Just like njbrian. He did the first 6 speed setup. He said he did it as like a personal goal. Lot of work but it payed off for him.

    Umm doesnt the blower feed the turbo?? The S/C boosts the low end and when it craps out on top the turbo kicks in..

    isnt there a turbo kit that you can use that mounts close to the end of the exhaust? and still keep the s/c?

    Yea those are pretty awesome would take some serious custom fabbing as far as the piping goes but if you have the pipe a bender and a welder easily acessible it wouldnt be too bad i wouldnt think

    My main concern with squire is running oil lines that far back under the car. Something catches one the wrong way and your turbo burns up and you run out of oil before you can figure out what's going on.

    With a power adder like a compressor (turbo), you can run the intake wherever you want. It has enough suction to pull it through just about anything and still make its boost on the other side. I'd mount it up in a shielded area within the rear bumper cover.
