random thought....
We all know the Ko4 runs out of breath, and the cost of a big turbo is high, but here w go WHAT IF???? you mounted a second turbo a Ko4 remote mount like a STS kit, then routed the pipe to come in right before the intercoller with a BOV right there to handle the PFFFF. they would work like a twin turbo on a V8 not like a sequential turbo on an Rx7. you would have double the volume..... Thoughts.....

why not just get the turbo wheel upgrade kit? you'd need to run all the **** to get it hooked up, the BPV hooked up,..with all the electronics on our cars and the monitoring that our cars do, i think it'd be a nightmare to hook up a 2nd turbo that you could tune with hpt like the stocker. idk maybe i'm wrong. but either way, i think if you're gonna put a turbo in the car get a bigger one and put it in the stock location. just my thoughts, carry on.

if you mounted a second k04... then you'd just have 2 k04's "running out of breath".
maybe the only benefit would be sharper torque curve. meaning increase in the slope but same trq numbers. (increase in slope would mean that your reach max torque even earlier than 2200rpms or whatever it is.)
Most people that do the setup your talking about, will mount a larger turbo than the k04 after the k04. The k04 gives you that immediate hp/trq and then once a certain rpm is reached, the waste gate fully opens on the k04 to prevent overboost once the larger turbo kicks in. hypothetically this should give you a no turbo lag scenario.

only larger turbo's will run out the injector's. The stock one I think it's regularly accepted that about 6500 at 22psi it can't keep up with the motor/ out of it's efficiency range....
