After mapping out the lines and valves and stuff required for a sequential setup I quickly retreated back into VGT territory.

VVT = variable vane turbo/technology
VGT = variable geometry turbo
I don't think they've quite settled on a term yet.

That's my current plan, but what's the best turbo?
Holset he300 - Variable, water cooled, 100-300HP, wastegated.
Garret GT2359V - variable, 200HP, from MB 320CDI.
Garrett gt1749V - variable, 150HP, volkswagen.
dodge? TBO352 - variable, 175HP, 1987 dodge
Garrett GT2062V - variable, 160HP, volvo
Other???
Jeep liberty? Is this a variable? For $100? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200035361367&fromMakeTrack=true
