Twin turbo build fabrication/pics

Hand is feeling good, thanks for asking. Still a bit sore, but I can work with that.
I recently received some new air filters (K&N) that I think will work great with the TT turbo location. Unfortunately I have not had time to proceed with the build because of ST sales. Not a bad reason I guess as far as things go.
Once the driver side turbo is mounted, the rest of the stuff will come together easy. I plan on using this FMIC:

That would mean that I can retain the mounting hardware from the ST kit, as well as all the piping in the engine bay. The IC piping from turbo to FMIC should be very easy to do because of the 2” diameter. There is lots of room to run a couple of those pipes through to the front.
The kit is built in my head, I just have to get some time and dedicate it to the final product

Just looked at the Godspeed FMIC, and it has a 7" tall core, not 9" like the unit I linked.

You obviously don't live in Alabama
Thanks for the good laugh....I know I shouldn`t but just can`t help it.

Yes, but I would suggest upgrading for anything over 400whp to aftermarket headers. You can now notice (since I started the whole header issue thread) that whenever a dyno sheet is posted it mentions after market headers..

that's a pretty sad excuse for a deer. Come up to indiana where they are 225lbs field dressed. That thing in the picture looks like a large dog. A normal deer wouldnt' come close to fitting in that tiny grill.
Also, the intercooler would be the last thing i would worry about if you tagged a deer at any decent speed.

I did have a bit of spare time recently to revisit the twins. I have decided to go away from the internal w/g's, and use Tial MV-S (V-band) units. The reason for this is room. If I was to use the internal gates, the turbo on the driver side just would not sit right (to me) and the clearances around it are a bit tighter than I would like.
With the external gates, I can position the turbo much better, and have a lot of room around it. That way there is no chance of it hitting anything during hard acceleration, when the engine twists.
I just need one free weekend to finish it up. It really is a straight forward build. Much simpler than the ST to fabricate at least. The install will also be extremely easy.
Now I need a volunteer for testing. Built motor is a must.

FFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUU.....
I would drive my Z all the way there for you to have a test car, unfortunately, no built motor for me..
Well actually I guess it's about a 5,000 mile round trip, so I don't know... I think I would still consider it lol. I hope you find a test car soon.
