Try "4000" for engine displacement - program assumes piston engine, which is not equal to "2000" 20B displacement.

Twin T04-S3 turbos is about right.

How much does a pair of those run normally? I know I shouldnt be asking this yet.

I don't know if there's a difference between an "S3" compressor wheel versus an "S-Trim" compressor wheel, but these guys sell them at $450 a pop, so $900 for both turbos...

If a 60-wheel T3 will work then grab a pair of Grand National turbos for about $100-150 apiece (the going rate for stock GN turbos) and you're in business

Might need to get bigger turbine housings, they aren't THAT expensive...
