From what I remember, the outside manifold holes on the FC are a little bit off from the FD manifold. You'll have to dremel the FD manifold bolt holes to make it fit. I don't think it'll fit though. I'll have to look , but I believe that it doesn't because of the FC frame.
I asked this question once, and will give you the reply I was given. Why bother? The stock twins are actually pretty crappy and like to puke oil seals, especially when you up the boost. You'd be better off going with a decent single.
The FD3S 13B-REW turbos would hit the lower intake manifold.  If you solve that problem, then you would need a dedicated 3-stage controller to get them to work in sequential mode.  Those turbos are a piece of crap - they are too small for the engine, and the extra complexity usually causes them to blow-up.  Costs of rebuild START at $1,000 and easily go up.
For that kinda money, I would go t04 single - it makes more reliable power, and the fd owners are converting them over anyways.  Makes you wonder...

...and yeah, it's easier just to go T-04...sequential turbo's suck!
