Im not saying that a street driven (rear exiting exhaust etc.) TT LSX S30 doesn't exist just that I have never seen or heard of one. If anyone has please let me know as I would love to see the setup.
Im on Hybridz and never been real active on here I am also currently working on a 77 280 5.3 l33 TT t56 car. Going with twin borg warner EFR turbos. I am a little behind you. But there will be another car Not to the Turbo kit fab stage yet car is curently getting the roll bar and removable door bars put in. And then is off to paint. I have the motor cam springs and turbos already sitting at my shop but most of the build is waiting on my roll bar guy. Car should be on the street before the end of summer. I will get some pics up at some point on here or do a build thread.

That's awesome man. You REALLY need to do a build thread im curious how you plan to do everything as I have been scratching my head for quite awhile trying to figure all this out. Good luck and don't forget to make a build thread.

I will for sure. I will be working with a company out of Phoenix Called Full Race.
http://www.full-race.com/
Geoff Racier is the owner and I am good friends with him. I have been bouncing ideas off of him for the last few months.

My biggest concern is the rear end. I want to keep the car IRS . I am seriously considering going Josey's Steeples route and ford IRS 8.8 with custom shafts. I have him on my facebook and I am following his build also. It seems the only bullet proof idea with the best aftermarket options for gears exc.

Here is a picture of the car sitting at my father inlaws it sat in this exact spot for 8 years with out moving.


And here is a pic of it a few months ago getting media blasted.


And Bare Steel


This is what I want her to look like when done

I'll be running 2.5" off of these to use as a comparison to my truck/3" set

To shroud or not to shroud.. That is the question.. On a side note- I will finally have the turbos mounted this weekend

Again, sick build. The time you're putting into it will really show with the finished product.

Those C6 manifolds look like plug access will be a nightmare.

I still have a lot of grinding and welding to do but this is where they will end up. I tried to mirror them as best I could but this is the best I could do given the requirements for each side.

There is still quite a bit of work to be done but I'm happy to finally have the turbos mounted. Don't judge me as I don't do this for a living and I'm a self taught welder! Hope it holds together..

I'm liking this mounting more than the way you had it before. Too bad you already blew out the inner fenders.

My thoughts exactly.. Oh well maybe it will help get some air flow in the bay to cool things off.

I was able to get the down pipes in this weekend, Here are a couple of pics. I'll have some more detailed photos when I'm done welding them all up.
