You going off the overhead? Next thing would be a 3 piece exhaust manifold and/or some 50-75hp injectors.

swap the gear oil and motor oil over to synthetic if you haven't done so. a set of rv275 injectors. build a small set of compounds....

yeah most call them twin turbos but in most cases you have a larger bottom turbo and a smaller top charger so they would be compound turbos as twin turbos would be the same size.
