Anything can be done of course, but you have to look at things practically. So the short answer is "no". You can make just as much (and more) power with a larger single turbo...

Large single turbos always produce more power than twins becaus twins make more heat and therefore can't run as much boost. If you want the fastest possible, use a big *** turbo and use a nitrous shot to spool it.

Bollocks. Have a look at the 1000-1200hp GT-R's in Japan. Two turbos. Heat produced is a result of power, not the number of turbos.

Talk about crude. That may be fine for a dedicated drag car, but I'd rather have the faster spool time of twins than have to muck about with nitrous (which has an annoying habit of running out) just to get some driveability.

It won't fit without a spacer.

Stuffing HT-18 compressor sections on there will make it worse.

The design is crappy.

You need the stock FD3S ECU to run it properly for sequential operation.
