Out fucken standing Bob!!
I see No problems hiting your goal once you get everything together and running.
I have some questions-
I see the wastegate flapper here
And I can barely make out the flapper arm in this one on the right
How do you get 2 wastegates to work with one flapper arm and the turbos look like they are clocked 90* apart from the looks of the wastegate mounting holes.
I have not looked @ one of these setups done complete so I'm not busting your balls I just want to understand how you make that work.
I know all the oil and coolant lines will tee into each other and charge pipe will tee into 1 unless you want to add on the BFMIC a extra pipe.
Looks badass can't wait to see it running BIG PROPS Bob
Thanks for the props man.
I know its tough to see with everything being black. The pics I've taken of the runners didn't show up but there is only one stock wg hole (not ideal I know) but slightly opened up for more flow. There has been some modification to direct the majority of the exhaust flow from runner 2 into the new turbo, but it has been left open so that pressure from either side of the manifold can be released thru the stock wg. Does that help clarify things? In all honesty I dont think this will become an issue as I know the kit will be capable of 550+whp when maxed out and my goals for this aren't as lofty so I think I will be ok without the external WGA for this prototype. If and when the time comes to max this out, then I would most likely cut and weld a new DP-turbo custom pipe with an integrated WG reroute.
The coolant lines will be y'ed but the oil returns will be separate. I have seen too many issues with oil returns not being sized properly and leading to premature CHRA failure. I won't be making that mistake.
The charge pipe will be y'ed as well and beacuse I am using two identical turbos, I'm not concerned about any reversion or surging from one turbo to the next

Thanks again for the props man
So you will only use one wastegate connected to 1 of the turbos to controll the whole system Right? Ty and can't wait to see this setup running.
P/s my cars coming along slowly but surely I have the agp uhp,lower with the Hks Bov waiting on the c-clip,O ring should have it today.

Nice work Bob
Nope. One wg releasing pressure from both sides of the manifold (both turbos).
I will keep everyone updated once this actually gets installed. The mani is done and ready to install short of a few quick fabbed plumbing issues but I have a few other things I need to do to my car first.
I will be removing the BS chain and possibly the assembly as well while installing a windage tray of some sort, I will most likely upgrade all rings and bearings, get new head studs, rod bolts and mains, and port the head as well. I may even go custom grind on the cams (with the flow sheets from the head) and go from there. Time will tell.
Most likely will be installed in December (along with fitment of an updated design twin kit ).
The project is moving a little slower than expected as I have an oil consumption issue that I want to fix before pushing this kit. I have decided to try a FFP prepped block, with all the goodies, ceramic coated crank, pistons, bearings, oil gears, cryo treated, ect.. before as well.

that sounds awesome! i may be doing a twin set up on a mostly stock car...

Stop keeping secrets!!!!!! I needs to know I'll probably do the same, if I stop buying quals parts.....

I just bought two manifolds to chop and weld. I am going to use two stock turbos and 650's or stage 2 injectors for now. I am looking for 350HP.
Do you have any tips for me before I chop these apart in December?
Sure, make sure you have a good welder, stress relive it when you are done, expect some milling of the flange to be needed after welding as well. The kit should easily be ready for more than 350, but I will say that if the kit isnt done right, spool will be a huge issue.....
Heh, we're still a few weeks out yet. Even when it does get installed, I will still need to work on getting the motor swapped and tuned before I really get into boost with this bad boy.
This kit will be nice, but I will give a semi-informal release that we have something better coming up at the same time mine gets installed
No worries, man, when you do come in you will be able to see the twins as they are in the show room on display
