Re:turbo hookup
getting this turbo is not a matter of purchase its more a matter of acqusition(?). the ones that i know that i can get are attached to these generators in a warehouse. so its more of like a hit and run type thing. last time i was there, there was about 20 of them sitting on pallets just waiting to be used. but as to my current problem they are in the US and i am not! just to think i have 17 months left of this ----. at least ill have everything i need for my setup when i get back. my current list is being purchased over the next 3 months, so far ive put in about $2700 in parts that are sitting in boxes in my garage. hope they fit when i get back.

Re:turbo hookup
these turbos will be a waste of your time untless you just want the fame of being the 3rd person on here to do a twin turbo setup, the first person to do sequential, or the first person to do quad. psi means nothing if there's isn't any air moving. sure they might do 12psi, but you get a t3 on the same engine doing 12psi and it will blow this turbo away because the t3 moves more air.
if you are hoping to do sequential, here are a few things I learned when I was trying to do a sequential (I didn't get past the planning stage). connecting one turbo to the dp of another turbo is no good, the first turbo will never spool because there's no pressure difference between the inlet and the outlet because the second turbo is in the way, that's why turbos love huge exhausts, makes low pressure in the dp. so you must make a manifold with 8 runners, 2 from each cylinder, each of the 2 going to a turbo. If the turbos are the same size you won't really have any need for a bypass or check valve to prevent exhaust from backtracking to the smaller turbo and spinning it backwords, or boost back tracking into the outlet of the small turbo and spinning it backwards.
I have a link to a page about how a supra sequential setup works on my website, I would link it direclty here, but my web host is messed up right now and I don't know the link without my site. it's in the links section: http://civic.end.at
