I had thought about using the stocker with a larger compressor housing, and then using the T3/T4 as the primary turbo, but everyone says these engines don't like a bunch of boost down low... I'm afraid with the stock turbo pushing 10lbs by like 2k rpm, the T3/T4 will be adding in at least 5lbs of boost into it, so I could be seeing over 20lbs of boost at that rpm... I don't want to blow the engine up! The T3/T4 has decent low end spool, and it will be even better with the manual. Also, by using the Cummins HX35 as the primary, its going to look and sound rediculus! I just got the HX last night and it looks crazy huge sitting on my bench!

I think your idea would work great if I had some $$$ to blow on a good set of H-beams so the engine could hold the power down low... Just think of the crazy power band you would have with a compound setup like your saying! From 2 to 5k rpms?? That would be awesome but I don't think the stock stuff is going to like it!
