a pic of my twin turbo setup

I worked on it all saturday and everything turned out really well. There's just a few more things I have to do before I can drive it on the streets. So far my dowpipes only go as far as the tranny but damn does it sound nice

Where'd you get those valve covers from? do you know if they have any problems leaking or have you run them yet?

Dead weight. lol

Looks good. I thought about doing something similar on mine, but was concerned about the location of the alternator. Your engine and mine look almost identical, down to the fancy schmancy valve covers.

They are twin TO4B turbos, twin 35mm Tial wastegates, custom FMIC, Apexi BOV, stock bottom end, mild port heads, cam

There's been lots more done but I don't want to bore you to death

I made everything in my tiny *** garage. I did send some of the welding to my friend, but I just bought a tig welder so all the welds you see after the header collector is mine.

you'd be right

I would actually build them but I just don't know if there is a real demand for them. BTW, how's that IC working out for you?

Where'd you get those valve covers from? do you know if they have any problems leaking or have you run them yet?
I got these from Jimlab, but they sell them at summit racing for like $200. As long as they're installed right, there shouldn't be any leaking problems



Accessories?
If you look at my passenger side, you'll see a bracket that'll hold the alternator. That's the only accessory I'll run or need

I can take some snaps of the alt. bracket when I'm done if you like. It's just a simple bracket but it'll do the job. BTW, I have a corvette balancer which makes it a bit easier to mount the alt. due to the spacing between the block


I found out my idle was set at only 500 which made my car not start for a few days. Here's a clip of when I started with the throttle opened a bit

You can kind of hear the gear drive in this vid

John, The intercooler will work perfect. I changed how I'm going to route the piping but everything will work out fine. I'll be making my crash support this weekend hopefully
