I'm sure it does, but you can make 600 hp with a single turbo with a lot less fuss.

It'd give you 600hp but it's going to take a lot more to do it than if you just used a single turbo.

It's not practical at all for any kind of a street setup. Unless you have the kind of money A'PEXi put into R&D in order to get that running properly(not to mention making it work as an FR setup), then it's not even an option, really.

They put their money from R&D into making it a reverse rotation engine so that they could use that fancy schmancy 6 speed gear box. I have an old magazine on it somewhere... They had to reverse engineer the cams to do it.
