that is the stock setup for a fd

yes you can put it on a fc
yes you need fabrication
the fd manfiold hugs closer to the block for a reason
you also need to convert it to non sequential

They will spool at the same time.

Some people have installes these on the FC but it is a VERY tight fit. You need to space the turbos out 1.5" or so to clear the lower intake, and then you run into problems with the downpipe hitting the frame rail.

dude, the stock FD twins never work anyway. Why would you want them? They're awesome when they work, but that's not often. This is coming from someone who has driven a properly running sequential FD many times. And there's no point in running parallel stock FD twins when you can do the standard T04 turbo upgrade which will give you similar response.

FD guys do the parallel mod mostly because it's cheaper than getting a single turbo. It might spool slightly faster than many single turbos, but unless you just want a project for a project's sake forget this idea.

the twins spool light years faster than any single turbo rotary i've driven, only one comparable would be a small BB turbo. yep the twins can be done but not easily and may not net the results you would like since the fitment is going to be a real issue.

the other twin manifold you linked to is for 2 single turbos, which is going to cause considerable lag and only for real high output motors.

why are you set on twins anyways? want to be different? they've all been done before so it will not be unique.

he may be a noob, but i dont think that gives anyone the right to call someone a name. its that kinda banter that discourages people, especialy noobs.

if i wanted to talk to the same nerdy click jerks id exhibit the same childesh behavure.

btw dont call me a noob either, i had to start a new profile cause i used my other profile about two years ago.

no hard feelings if you were just pokin fun, but you should at least say ure pokin fun.

Why would you think that would cause considerable lag? Whatever turbos you put on that manifold will have less lag than a single turbo that can produce the same power. That's the whole point of the exercise.

Well for one, I live in Iowa where theres some unique cars but not alot. For the turbo thing, I would also like to say that i got twin turbo instead of a single turbo. It just sounds much better. Thanks for all the input.

haha cus people just **** themselves when they hear something is twin turbo'd.

that is the wrong reason to twin turbo your car. you will only be sounding better to people who dont understand cars/turbo's. just fyi.
