The AAM intercooler looks a little funky around the top intercooler caps in the middle. No offense to AAM; they make great products, I just like this one a little more and HKS may actually sell one to me.
I would be interested to know a little more about these turbos. Are these the disco potatoes (or descendants from)? I think of our cars as not a 3.7L engine but two banks of 1.35L engines, and almost all the turbos on offer you wouldn't dream of putting on a 1.3L three cylinder engine and expect it to have the kind of street characteristics I'm looking for.

you've missed 1L of displacement :P, 1.85L per side. having said that, this is also across 3 cylinders and not 4, but I know where you are coming from.
You still want a turbo that can be efficient at higher RPM to take advantage of the engine though, no point putting too small of a turbo into a kit which runs out of efficiency at 5500RPM for eg stock CA18/SR20 turbo's.
on topic of kit - what kind of RPM are you expecting to hit full boost by with this kit? any expected upgrade path of stages for slightly higher or lower HP applications?
