Some promised update pics
Some promised update pics..more added 1/5/05 SEE BELOW< MORE ADDED ...Stick a potato in my exhaust tip and make some french fries!
Of course there is one turbo on each side now.
.
.As seen below, we modified the T3 Inlet flange to work as a hanger on each side as well. Tokk a lil stainless scrap to do this.
.
. Cut the BMR track pack bar to mount more like a Spohn Body mount. This will clear the way for the exhaust pipe (andi IC pipe) to make a run from front to back just under the body. I'm using custom coated 2.5 " exhaust to each turbo, coming off coated Macs. Will use and H pipe as well for balancing.

Heres a better view of the modified cross bar.
.
The picture below shows how the bar used to run from "frame connector to frame connector" before we cut it! That 4" exhaust is now on the shelf in favor of true dual 2.5's.

pretty pretty.
i was thinking i woulve had to sell my x-brace if i got the STS but it looks like you guys solved that problem quite nicely. does it seem to effect chasis ridgidity any with it not being connected to the frame connectors anymore? also, doesnt the new placement effect the torque arm angle or can you use an adjustable torque arm to compensate?

I have an adjustable TA, so I'm cool there. A stock cross bar does not go side to side, it takes the same bolt holes we used.

The only thing that bothers me is the exhaust feeding the Turbo's.How would you know both Turbo's will have the same amount of exhaust to turn them?The exhaust might favor 1 turbo more than the other causing boost problems..Just a thought.
BLK: I did do better, but you bought my better kit. well, maybe, well see. 
I may want it back. Now Im just out to prove, or disprove something.
Slowhawk, I would expect each turbo to get similar air flow as 4 cylinders are feeding one turbo, and 4 cylinders feeding the other...Im runnnin true duals. The car is not lowered so Im not scared to run it under the floor boards. I had always planned to use oval pipe, but Chuck at Dr. Gas said oval pipe may not flow as well as round. I plan on an "h" to allow for some pressure equalization without disrupting flow too much. My main concern is if 2.5 is too big to keep velocity up. IO was afraid 2.25 may have been a tad restrictive. I kinda think I should gone 2.25. The entire exhaust will be ceramic coated to save some heat (went mild in place of stainless..had to cut costs somewhere in case this doesnt work well).
BLK: I do want the Bov Pipe if your ready to sell.
Thanks for the input guys, Im here to share the story, its part of the fun. Im not out to be a 1/4 mile master here and hold anything back.

one question. those turbo mounts you made look like they are solid mounted to the rear frame rails. if so are you running flex pieces to allow the exhaust to move with the engine? Or do you have solid motor mounts?
