Question Suggestions for a twin turbo setup?

I recently bought a 1988 RX-7 and got this bright idea to twin turbo it. So i was just wondering if anyone had some suggestions as to what i would need or should buy in order to twin turbo it? I would really appreiate a shopping list of specific stuff that i would need in order to do so.

Thanks, K.P.

You know, there is an entire section of this site devoted to people replacing their twin turbos with single turbos. Maybe you should take that into consideration.

Because two turbos that have the same flow potential as one big one will always spool much quicker. A big turbo that don't have any meaningful boost below 4000rpm is pretty useless for thestreet.

That's irrelevent in this case. Those people are removing the FD's stock sequential twin-turbo system because the system that operates them can be unreliable and the turbos are not suitable for making a big power due to their small size. That's completely different to using two parallel turbos sized to make the power you want.

kp2ndgenrx7, do a search for "twin turbo" in the 2nd Gen section and you'll find several threads discussing this.
