I actually had the blitz pulley on there before I did the twincharge setup but the ABV mod wasn't done so it wasn't doing anything. I gave the pulley to the guy that is helping me with everything and he did the ABV mod, and it is strong as hell. I would have been happy with a bigger pulley (that was doing any good) and would have never done the twincharge setup but that is neither here nor there. A 4agze with the NST pulley kit and a fmic would be a beast that I would be more than satisfied with.

as for the vw setup being for economy, that is with their goal. we are using the design of it but with higher boost and some small tweaks. the whole point of the one way valve is to let in the extra air so that the turbo isn't trying to pull more from the supercharger. instead of running off of one filter, we are using an additional filter, with the one way valve and right by the turbo, so that they aren't both feeding off the same air.

as big of a pain as it was to keep the supercharger, i almost went with the 4agte that you are describing. the gze bottom end is pretty much bullet proof and will hold the 350whp (that i'm going for) and with a bigport head, it is definately turbo ready. i also have an extra e58 laying around from the second motor.
