Default Looking for twin turbo for vq35hr

I am looking at different turbo kits online, as I'm finally ready to purchase one. Most of them state that they are for the DE. I have been eyeing the Jim Wolf twin turbo. Are there any quirks, things I should know before install, still have ac? Any help would be particularly useful. I've only installed one before on a VW. It wasn't...the worst experience ever, just frustrating. Thank you all for your time.

I think the only thing out there for HRs are AAM's TT and SOHO ST kit... Not sure if BP is still making ST kits.

There's always Stillen SC kit.

there for a while it was only GTM, then they tanked, i think it was only within the last couple of years that greddy developed one. any particular reason you are wanting to TT it?

btw, yes i am a sarcastic ***, but if you can deal with me and some of the others on here... you will be fine.

No worries man. my dearest friends are all insufferable ******. I was to understand that the power band was a longer, less laggy way to go. I'd like to drift it. I have been considering the single turbo as well, but figured twin was the way to go. The long term plan is to buy a stage 4 vq down the road a bit, and I'd like to be able to just throw the kit on that while I'm working on the hr engine.

DE turbo kit + DE downpipes would work just fine, correct me if this is incorrect. Cheers

Okay....without being a dick. Can you handle high horsepower?

What are you going to do for fuel delivery, and tuning?

At $10K for a new kit, even 1/2 that is half the value of the car. I found a full Vortech V3 kit on here for $3K, expecting about 485hp with ALL supporting mods. 02

I was going to get an uprev tune...the fuel injectors and fuel pump come with the aam kit.
Highest horsepower I have experience driving is around 425ish. Buddy's vw. R32 single turbo.

When you get it installed could you let me know the ease of installation? 3k? Not a bad price at all.
