GT35 should be plenty if you're not looking for more than 600+hp.

Any pics? If it's an actual Blitz intercooler (not just a generic core someone called a "Blitz") it's a pretty decent intercooler. What are the dimensions?

I know this was awhile ago...

That Maserati bi-turbo setup you're talking about is a sequential twin turbo setup, they just called it bi-turbo.

Sequential = one then the other = one turbo boosts until the other is spooled.

Twin turbo and Bi-turbo are still the same thing. There's no point in having two of the same sized turbos and having only one spool at a time.

Look at the B5 (2000-2002) Audi S4 with the 2.7L Bi-turbo engine. It's a V6 with 2 equal sized turbos each connected to it's own 3 cylinder exhaust bank.
