It is late. 617 intake and exhaust are on the same side I know you mean IP side.

You can get a good amount of turbo 606 benefit by running a turbo 603 IP and boost actuated wastegate. Throw in larger 6mm (or even 7mm?) IP elements and you're about there. The big problem then is plumbing an intercooler.
