no, the 2.8 is a V6... in basic fundamentals of performance V6's when using turbo's are twin turbos...

and basically... the 2.8 in itself is just not a good platform for a performance build... thats why audi uses its brother the 2.7 bi turbo.

thats probably why you won't find any kits for either

Yep, way too much engineering to make development cost-effective. Seeing as how PES gets 5 large for the SC kit, I'd imagine a twin turbo system would be even more expensive, and more intrusive to install. At least the SC can be installed in a day or so and without tremendous disassembly. A twin turbo system would likely involve (or at least benefit from) pulling the engine, and many people won't want to deal with doing that themselves, nor pay the cost of labor in having it done.

Search for "remote turbo" on here if you are hooked on the turbo, or else investigate the SC kit.
