Lightbulb World's First Turbocharged, Supercharged, and Nitrous Injected 2-Stroke RC Car!

Alright I know. You guys are gonna say I'm crazy, and i probably am. But I will put this out there first thing:

I AM NOT GOING FOR THE MOST POWER

I know that a turbocharger is almost impossible to make good power with on a 2 stroke, and that superchargers are questionable too. I simply want to have a working combination of the three. However if i end up making some crazy power out of it, I'm not exactly going to complain...

If at some point the engine were to catastrophically fall on its own face and disintegrate internally, it will just be replaced by something bigger and the project will go on.

Of course the only limiting factor here is cost, and that's why the build will not officially be "started" until the weekend after spring break. That's when i'll have the money to really get the project off the ground.

Please feel free to insult me or my ideas, or, god forbid, give me some advice as this is my first big nitro build. But you wont stop me, so you might as well help out and enjoy the ride!

(Will be updated as project is underway)
My current plans are as follows:

Buy the turbocharger (GE-S2) - DONE
Buy the RTR car (redcat tornado) - WAITING
Buy and install RB Innovations Supercharger Kit - WAITING
Modify intake and exhaust to accommodate turbo - WAITING
Buy and install RB Innovations Nitrous Kit - WAITING

TUNE IN WEEKLY FOR UPDATES!
***UPDATE*** (Feb. 23)

The turbo arrived last night. It looks good and today i will start doing some low pressure stress testing seeing what kind of boost numbers it will pull. I'll update again either tonight or tomorrow with results.
