the small turbo will not be a hindrance.
that's always one the first questions of most people about the compound set-up.
i think we discussed about this during the first few pages of this thread already.
The small turbo is being forced-fed with already compressed air from big turbo

valve cover....duh!
bro, I believe SMG used just the stock bolts for the stock cover. Fred is out for a week for a vacation. I'll try to ask him when he comes back

Try to think of compound turbocharging as taking an engine that is already turbocharged and then simply turbocharging what was already there. The larger turbo is completely on the outside of the system that was already in place for this reason. That's why you don't need to change what is already there.

One thing I would worry about is to make sure the MAF is in a big piece of pipe because if it sees much over 11500 hz the ECM tends to get pissed and it responds by slamming the throttle shut.

It does? Is that a Kappa specific issue? We have never had that problem on LNF Cobalts.

If you ventured more into the Kappa world you would know this, lol. You guys set records with FWD Cobalts, right? Imagine the times a Kappa(RWD LNF) could do! I'm seriously surprised you guys haven't bothered with much besides downpipes and other things.
