the turbos do not bolt on the FC motor. It hits the lower intake manifold. Much better off with a single turbo anyway.

I don't understand your post...
You claim to have a turbo'd NA, but your .sig says "Turbo II"?&nbsp If you do have a turbo'd NA 13B, that does not make it a "Turbo II" model.

I don't recommend running that kinda power on an NA block.&nbsp The higher compression makes for a smaller safety margin against detonation, and by the looks of your postings, you also have no clue what you're getting yourself into.&nbsp Now, let me say this - I did not say it was impossible to do.&nbsp I would switch over to a stand-alone EMS unit to control every aspects of ignition fuel - this would get you what you want.

I don't know what your love of twins over a properly sized single.&nbsp Single turbo 13B's have been known to produce up to 700hp on a 13B.&nbsp A properly sized single turbo is less headache to install due to less plumbing.&nbsp If you're thinking you can run X model of turbocharger is getting Y amount of horsepower, then expect 2X turbos will produce 2Y amount of power, you're seriously wrong.&nbsp Turbo sizing is the key to making efficient power out of the engine.&nbsp You can't just be slapping any turbo you want and expect it to you for for you.&nbsp There are people who run too BIG of a turbo, and get all pissy about it.&nbsp Check out the Single Turbo section of this forum...

There are some companies that sell the twin turbo setup that bolts on, but you'd need a Haltech or simlar and good tuning to make it run right.

The 93-95 13B-re cosmo twin turbo engine is a popular transplant as it's not too expensive and obviously has twin turbos. Finally if you don't want MAXIMUM power but ~250-300hp is your goal you might consider going supercharged. Same benifits as the twin turbo setup with better throttle responce.
