    Yes I was the one that talked to you on the phone, I'm really wanting to do turbo's but the more I talk with people the more I am hearing "slap a whipple/KB on that bitch" in the back of my head.

    I want another turbo car cause the last one was an absolute blast.

    I'll be taking the twins off soon and upgrading to a single. They are awesome. I'd have to look but I think it made over 700ft/lbs on pump lol

    I know what you mean, I wouldn't mind putting an 88mm on that car and let her rip. alot of room on the passenger side once everything is removed. Only dilema I can't find the answer to is what to do with all the coolant hoses. There are so many damn hoses from both heads/return/source from radiator.

    What is your plan to make room with all of that, I haven't seen anybody or products that cleans up the hoses

    I had to make them on the twin kit. I moved the alternator, t stat housing and made most of the hoses out of aluminum. That's why the kit costs so damn much. I had like 22 jigs? LOL

    So if I understand this right you just made a custom junction of where all the hoses went so they were relocated? you actually didn't delete any extra hoses?

    Nope, didn't delete anything. Oil cooler still works and all. Most of it was hard lined and some nipples on the hard lines for rubber lines to the relocated expansion tank
