Too nice a car to heavily modify in my opinion. Personally if i could do it over again with my car, which was in very good shape and relatively stock when i bought it, this is how i would modify it..
3" exhaust
MAF setup
Tial wastegate
Boost controller
That is it! This will net you around 260whp on a stock 26/6 turbo and give you very quick spool up. In other words its still very usable around town but still alot of fun on the highway. I dont recommend building a 3L and even thinking about a 'return on investment'. The value in your car is that its basically stock or is lighted modded with desirable things. Building a 3L is like spending $10-15k to make your car worth $20k.
I went way beyond that and have regretted it more times than not. I totally bastardized a really nice, basically stock car.. and now i am going one step further and putting in a V8 to get some reliability back!

I was talking about a dual-scroll turbocharger. Anyway, yes, we were talking about two different things. I've never heard of a twinscrew setup, but from your description, still another mod that falls into a very exclusive category.
