Default Twin turbo SS pics!

Started work on my twin turbo project. I am going to be running 2 60-1 garrets with tial wastegates and some greddy rs BOVs. I havent decided on the intercooler yet but i have been leaning toward air to water. I installed a BMR k-member to free up some room for the piping. The pipes right now sit about 1" lower than where the factory k-member was. Let me know what you think.

I like the criss cross downpipes! Depending on the application an Air to Air with vertical flow will work for ya, if its race only definitely go with air to water.

Any more pics of the car? Good color by the way.

Can't wait to see the finished product, looks like a crazy setup. Can't wait to see how your gonna route the final piping

very nice craftsmanship no doubt, but people were worried about the phamspeed kits ground clearance.

Yeah, I noticed that too. One of the big downsides to going twin unless you cut the fenders out of the car

Very nice setup btw. Any pics from the top side?

I am keeping everything, the only thing that may have to be pulled right now is the cruise control, but i am sure i can find somewhere else for it. Battery is still in the stock location right now, but i may move it too the back.

It will actually come off with just pulling one of the wheels off.

Changing the oil looks like its going to be fun too.
I will get a better pic up but changing the oil is no problem, lots of room. I didnt want to have to pull pipes everytime i need to change the oil. Although, it only takes 10 minutes to pull all the lower pipes off the way i have it.

I am going to run a scavenge system, i am looking for a good pump right now, any suggestions?

Ground clearance is an issue, but it shouldnt be bad, its only a little lower than factory 1-1 1/2"), as long as i dont hit anything laying in the road. I was trying to see if i could run it a different way, but any other way i did it i would have to lose something (A/C, PS etc...). Right now i am trying to decide if i want to run dual 3" to the back or run it into a single with electronic dumps???? I am also trying to decide how i am going to run the intercooler piping, anybody have some pics of different setups?

If you had ditched the AC could you have kept it above the K-member? Looks killer
