I know lots of guys around here who track their twin turbo Porsches and from the factory smallish turbos it's a nice fairly linear power transition.

It depends on how serious you wanna get and how much you are really going to track it vs street drive it. Have to be honest with yourself and hopefully predict accurately how the car will be used. I say that because many of us change our usage after a car is built.
going to twin turbo jumps the cost up quickly. 2 wastegates, bov's, oil lines, more piping. just not an option i care to venture for.

I have finally started doing SCCA this year (only one event left till winter ) and i can say i am hooked already. The car will get driven as much as possible but the goal i have in mind is to be competitive on the track. And to one day be on the same track with some of the guys on this board!
