A lot has already been said here especially about sizing correctly. Generally, you supercharge for low end, then have big turbos that pick up the boost at higher RPM. The problem is that the 1M uses tiny turbos to reduce lag, so to do it right you would have add the supercharger and go with bigger turbos. There is also not a lot of room. Bigger turbos by themselves would increase lag and probably overwhelm the already iffy charge pipe. Finally, the current tires can barely handle the torque on this monster, so you will have to address that or go to Costco and buy a bulk pack of diapers so you drive this proposed beast without messing up the seat. : )
