Yes - 160 is the limit you can get up to on the OE turbo - and even then the EGT's and EMP (exhaust gas temp and exhaust manifold pressure) are right up there on the limit.

A bi turbo would be a nice build - i thought about and and with hindsight would have been a lot cheaper in the long run - but space is an issue and will need a fairly large amount of fiddling to get it to fit properly.

VNT would be simpler - but space for the large ones (GT 22 family) is still very tight!
