dude, with all due respect ... your idea makes no practical sense!

don't get me wrong, i'm not trying to **** on your "shinola" ... but from your question and then your saying that you want only 300 HP, you seem to have a few things to learn before you try any turbo-based experimentation.

just do some research first, then ask whatever questions you need to fill in the gaps.

This has been done in Aus using two Turbo II turbos and seem to work very well ... I will dig out the site I saw it advertised on.

Oem twin turbos are good for close to 300hp...if you can fabricate most of the parts needed for installation it can be worth it, otherwise you are better off going single turbo.

The twin s4 turbo idea sounds good but not too practical at all.

does the turbo exhaust manifold need to have any special qualities besides having the spots for the turbos?

Not sure about the max psi but i think you should be able to get at least 15psi which is plenty for a higher compression motor. I've heard that someone makes adapters for the twin turboes to fit on 12a's but wouldn't know much more on that.
