This seems odd to me unless the banks for the engine have separate intakes. If there's a common intake for all 6 cylinders - it doesn't matter which side creates what boost - all 6 see the same thing.
If they do separate intakes - then that makes sense - but common sense would tell me it's a bad idea. You'd need to have a balance tube to connect the two to avoid that issue.
Volvo Turbo - I didn't see ANY rally car that was competitive that wasn't running C16 - pump gas at that level of racing just doesn't happen.
330 HP on 7 psi - the beauty of high compression boosted engines. Needs much better fuel management, but it's so much more elegant than low compression big boosted motors for having a nice power curve that's very drive-able. It has it's limits though - and truly big HP has to come from the low compression big boost combo. Too much turbo lag for my taste though. I think a 9:1 N9TE would be sweet with stock boost levels and a nice programmable ECU.
TTY vs Studs - I think TTY is fine for stock. For performance (big boost, big HP) I'd go with studs. As for ARP - I've heard they're not so good. I'd love to do Raceware studs - but the only way I could afford them is if they can match them to an existing set. If they have to make them special - it's big $$$.
I really want to try a stud conversion and copper or multi layer steel head gaskets. There's a company with a CNC water cutter that will pretty much do anything - price isn't bad - and it pretty much cuts through anything.
Just my 2 cents though - take it for what it's worth.
