You could stick 9 turbos on to the engine but it'll never hit genuine 60 in second thats because it's limited by the gearbox.
Off the top of my head if you wanted to hit 60 in second... then (i think ) the furio/westcoast/derv box is higher... i think.

well no, my speedo id 5 mph out so really its 55.
dont do it though because the engine really screams lol.
to do it comfortably you would need quite a few engine mods i would of thought!

Mods like filter etc will not really help to get the magic 60 out of 2nd.
The key is getting the engine to rev higher.
with the original 1.6 in my 205 gti it would never get 60 out of 2nd because the engine could'nt and would'nt rev high enough.
Then with the mi engine it revs to 7.5k and will get 65 out of second
Why not get a quickshift for the box which will reduce change times?

whats the big deal with this 60 in second? noyiced there shed loads of these threads get posted, and normaly get slated, but if I'm correct in thinking, the later you leave it to change you mis the optimun change, as your power has started to die off

yes thats right
if redline in second your speedo will indicat near 60 and a few people think you can do 60 in second but the speedos are way out so your probly only doing 55mph or about that

I think its more of a bragging rights thing, who has the fastest 0-60 but the slowest 60-100

slows acceleration down... as does getting a tall ratio'd box.
Not sure why you'd want to get to do 60 in second anyway. doesnt do engine any favours...
