I guess its possible...well, I know its possible. Look at people who have twin turbo'd FCs (mostly in austrailia, with one on top of the other or at least thats how it looked in pics.) Anywho, any paticular reason why you want to do it? I have no idea if a twin setup off an FD will work, but it can probably be made to work if you had the time and money. Id just stick to single turbo'ng it with some port work....but thats me. I don't know of anyone thats tried it on a 12A, but Id suggest reading up on turboing your 12A, and read up on turboing a 6 port motor, and well, whatever you can about turbos on the first and second gen threads and go from there with your setup. Then just start compiling parts..

Go to the single turbo section. There is a set of custom twins on a recent thread. It is on a REW but setup would be similar.

well what about running One single turbo. off just one INTAKE/EXHAUST PORT....and the other of the remaining exhaust and intake. So the turbos wouldnt be in line, but the would be seperate systems.

Wouldn't this be a pointless waist of time and money?

a company actually made a select few twin turbo exhaust manifolds back in the day. it made use of small TD series turbos. too much heat if you ask me and a waste of time.

It is a waste of time/money, unless you want to waste that money or have buckets of it to **** away on doing things like this. If you do, let me know and I can show you how to spend it..hehe. Anywho, I would just stick with Turbo'ng your 12A with a single turbo, do a street port, and all the other stuff related to turbo'ng reliably such as fuel mods, and drivetrain, and etc. Im a big advocate of wideband o2 sensors, and egt gauges too, if you haven't noticed from all my other posts. Proper preperation prevents **** poor performance, so make sure your reliable and tune correctly.
