Default new to custom set-ups

A friend is giving me a set of stock Supra turbos and I want to run them in a rear mounted configuration on my 96 lt1.

First, are these too small? I don't know the size/specs, but they're stock from a 95 twin turbo Supra.

Second, what size cold pipe should I use for the lowest lag time? I know the size is an issue, but I haven't seen any recommendations

Third, Does anybody have a write-up with parts for how the oil is pumped to and from the turbos?

I'm going to build the kit myself, but I would like to have some info going in.

Thanks!

Don't even waste your time with a pair of CT12's. They barely put out enough air to cool a hot bowl of pasta.

could they at least be used for mock-up or are the flanges not universal? Please excuse my ignorance.

The only thing they're good for is being an ugly, greasy paperweight.

I wouldn't waste my money/time with those on an fbody but they aren't all that terrible on a supra. My buddy just went 11.31 at 116 with a 1.51 60ft on the stock twins and NO nitrous. I do believe he also set the record for stock twins in the united states(without the use of nitrous), beating out a 11.34, which he also ran twice that night. Not too shaby for stock wheels and 17" drag radials. He's going to see what it will do on a 100 shot here soon.

OK, idea abandoned. If i'm not going to use the free ones, I'm going to do single. What size do you guys reccommend? It's an M6, bolt on, h/c car with 107,xxx miles on it.
