Ok, if you indeed have dual turbos they are from an FD. The FC was a single turbo. The manifold used with the turbo would be for a 13B, will not work for a 12a if that is what you are asking.

thanks fellas quick responces i figured it wouldn't fit easily i have a 13b on the way and yes it is the sequential twin turbo but im thinking about going to constant twin. ok nother stupid question can a carbed 13b be converted to fuel injection? I have a built 13b but its carbed i can get a running but un tuched 13b fuel injected can i just swop parts?

Ok i looked but can't find any think on converting from sequential to non sequ. any body thats done it? have Pics? I like picks to go with explinations, works better with my simple red-neck brain. another adition to this how much boost can i push through the carbs safely. i believe the carbs are duel webersnot sure of the flow rates havent brought the motor home yet.

today was the first time i could really look at the turbo. I found some small cracks in the inner part of the exhaust inlet they seem to be more like surface cracks is this a major problem the rest of the casting seem strong.

The twins are nice & responsive, but they run out of breath and are inefficient at higher boost levels/high RPM.

What kind of power could i expect from them with a StreetPort and decent exhuast system no cats and such. Well one of you guys said about ovaling the holes to use it on my 12a i may do that, and just get a big single for the other car with the 13b.

A third gen with 350-400 hp Feels ridiculously fast too.
BTW, Since the (twins) Turbos are so small, the boost hits instantly, and "feels" faster than a large single Turbo.
