What exactly do I need for twin turbos?
Ok, I want to know exactly what is needed to do a twin turbo setup in a thirdgen.
Can someone make a list?
One option I have is a Gale Banks turbo manifold set and two turbos (think that is all I get)
Second option (if still for sale....) is this

which is a bit more than option one.

Well, I know your second option is dead because that setup has been sold. I know who bought it.
Best going with the first option.
You will need wastegates (unless the turbos are equipped with internal ones) oil lines, tubing to intercooler and to TB. Some way to richen A/F ratio (fmu, larger injectors and programming, etc), cooler spark plugs, assorted heat shielding, exhaust from turbos, gaskets, oil drain lines from turbos to oil pan. All I can think of off the top of my head. Oh yes and a blowoff valve on your air pipe between an intercooler and TB.

guido-
what would your estimate be for getting the plumbing done? I mean a very budget minded job... Everything but the tubing I can do or get help doing, but the tubing is gonna need to be done for me. Whatcha think, bare minimum?

Well, i know for my own project I have $800+ in materials only. And that was cutting my own flanges and buying cheaper prices collectors that I had to wait for 3 months to arrive.
Id say at least that.
Then someone's labor to assemble which frankly, IS NOT EASY. lol
