This car is/should be N/A, let's just build off a good thing.
While I will likely be looking at a small twin scroll turbo in a few years, I like the idea of a high-performing N/A build. Stroker kit, Cams, higher compression, higher redline, etc. I'm just not sure if it would be enough for what I eventually want out of the car.

On the other hand, the FA20 has proven to respond well to boost so far, and a small twin scroll turbo would have minimal (insignificant) turbo lag. Just gotta figure out how to reduce the heatsoak enough to be minimal too...
