Default Fellas...guess what i bought tonight. (added pics)

a twin turbo set up!

Got two t3's with .63 a/r, in great shape, no play in the impellers.
Mac headers
starter h-pipe
mandrel bent pipes
intercooler
boost gage
dual boost controller
MSD two step module
oil pan already tapped
two BOV's
some down pipes
some flanges and gaskets
some tee's and an oil filter relocation
other hardware
All parts in great shape, I'm pretty excited!

Pain $875 for all that, what do you guys think? its not junk at all, most of the stuff is new in box.

I had pics, but they are the wrong format, so it'll have to wait.

A guy was needing cash and gave me everything he had. Some of it is DIY, some not. Like, the intercooler is two tbird intercoolers but with diamond plate and proffessionally tig welded. And I'll be welding all the mandrel bents up myself, but new BOV, aftermarket headers new boost controllers all good hardware etc.

Small turbos, but with a twin set up, i should see some good gains, been doing some research with that aspect ratio, i should have the best of both worlds with high end and low end power. They should spool up quick especially with the two step, should be good off the line.

the lotus we have has the same turbo in it and it gets 280hp and 320ft-lb of torque out of a 2.2 I4 and it spools up quick, in an all fiberglass car its fast as hell. small motor-small turbo. they should be perfect since each bank gets a turbo its roughly the same displacment for each turbo. people put too big of turbos with small motors and they take longer to spool up cause they dont push enough air and dont work as efficiently.

thats what i'm hoping. With some decent flowing heads and intake, should see good hpnumbers per pound of boost.
