Starting off with my build I have a studded 5.3 with I guess it's a eBay twin turbo kit that I picked up unused in a deal with a friend of mine was told that the turbos are twin 80 mm kinda clueless to the turbo game but I'm wondering what all will it take to get my coupe up and going

We can't possibly tell you without knowing every little thing you do and don't have.

What LILHEMI said!

You will need an aftermarket K member/engine mounts...or at least some swap engine mounts. I personally have AJE Racing K Member on my foxbody swap.

Also, if the turbos are 80mm...those are a little large for twins.

You might wanna trade those 80s for 60~66s

^ that

Haha yeah I didn't notice that. Twin 80s is overkill. There are 6 second cars running less turbo. Take the compressor cover off and measure them with a digital caliper.

You'll save yourself a lot of headache if you lock down a horsepower goal first. Then settle on displacement, fuel type, rpm, etc.

THEN you can start sourcing parts to meet your goals. Buying parts with the mentality that you will "make as much as you can with them" is a recipe for disaster. There will be surprise extra expenses and it will likely end up costing you less. It's easier to get to your destination if you know where you're going.

That being said, what is the power goal? if it's not 2000+, ditch the 80s for something that fits your needs.
