Default Jim wolf technologies twin turbo kit

Hi everyone, I'm hoping someone on here can shed some light on my problem? I have a pair of jim wolf technologies manifolds and downpipes I bought from a seller in the usa, he had already sold the rest of the kit separately, I have pieced together the rest of the conversion myself using improved parts and have fitted it all, I hit a massive problem when the generic garrett gt2860 turbochargers I bought don't fit in the space allowed by the manifolds! I now have the problem of trying to find the exact turbos used in the jwt gt28 turbo kit, jwt will not sell me the turbos separately and are trying to make my garage buy the whole kit which is too expensive and would be pointless as I already have everything else but the turbos already fitted to my car. I was hoping someone on here had a pair of the turbos for sale? Or could point me in the right direction of where I could buy them separate from the kit, I need to find them asap as my car is 90% done and il be off the road until I do. I hope 1 of you can help?
Thanks

Appears that the 530bb kit uses Gt25 turbos, internally wastegated and water cooled.

Be sure to clock them per the install manual. Gonna be a tight fit in the z.

You're not the first to ask without getting good answer

I have 0 time for vendors like JWT that are not willing to release the turbo spec...too "hidden" in the details. Hence why i love my greddy/mhi turbos. Plus their pipe routing is wack.

Check out Z1 motorsports, they have versions for the Z32 which might work. I think JWT uses GT28s machined into GT25 housings or something along those lines...

Actually I believe the 530bb kit has different manifolds than the 700bb. You might have to figure out which manifold you have.
