STS should takes some notes and cut you a fat check. This is a sweet looking system. I still can't get over how clean of a job your doing! Kepp it up and get that thing fired up!

That is bad *** man! What are the specs (If you don't mind me asking). I'm kind of interested in what size turbos those are and what size piping you're running back to them. Any idea what kind of power you're going to shoot for with the setup?

Thanks all!!!!
They are actually 74.9 turbines and 76mm compressors if I recall...that was like 6 months ago I had them speced for this purpose.
I have 2.5" to the turbos (in retro, I wish I was at 2 or 2.25
and the IC pipes are 2".
This is sort of step one to see what/if the system works well. By that I mean makes for a good street car. This is not, nor are most rear mount, really designed for max effort 1320. Thats the nature of the system I beleive. Doesnt mean I cant find 10's..or maybe it does...I dunno.I'm thinking it'll rip like hell in the last 1/8th, but again..this is a strret car this year. I tend to change systems annually...maybe I'll get 2 seasons on this one as I think it needs to be played with to provide some much lacking "real life" answers..like,,what happens if I use a single y pipe, split just before the turbos..or what happens if I change the 2.5's to 2"...or what happens if I keep these two in the back and add two more up front? We'll see..just cant let myself get bored and the Ape motor must hold.

Sweet! This setup should keep the underhood area a lot cooler than a conventional setup, right? Damn that thing is gonna hit hard when it spools up. I'll bet it puts out stratospheric numbers.
VERY nice looking work man. What the detailed spec on the turbo's? You say 76mm, but my guess is thats the exducer and not the inducer, correct? What turbine wheel are you using and in what a/r housing?
Just remember, if it's too laggy, your too much of a wuss
No turbo should spool before 4k in 4th if you have a 6.5-7k redline 
If it does you need a bigger turbo 
I think it will work just fine as long as the turbo's are of apropriate size or your redline is high enough ala supra style. Should make some big power. I would think that twin 60-1 or even 62-1 turbos would work awesome on this kind of setup.
