^ + 100. Agreed, get a new wp too, coolant lines and fuel lines, a new fpd, fuel filter, clean the injectors, replace the radiator and ast, replace vacuum lines with silicone ones, do all the other 60k or 100k tune up stuff... and if you have the $$$ get a set of BNR's for your twins as rebuilding stockers or purchasing rebuilt ones have a sucess of 50% actually working for the first 1-2k miles... and I don't think you want to replace them again. So, if you have to, try to buy working stock turbos that have not been rebuilt rather than just freshly rebuilt. Rebuilt turbos are not like a rebuilt motor.
good luck and I admire your ability to dive in and rip those turbos out.

There's plenty to read on non-seq turbos and depending on what was done to the extra set you have, you may not need to dissasemble both and swap turbines as that seems to me to be a llot more work. maybe you might want to go non-seq since you are this far along. I hear it's much easier to maintain.

I already am Non-Seq. Hence why I asked about swapping the actual turbines. Seemingly you have answered my question though. Thank you.
Oh here's the progress so far.
And here's where the WP was apparently leaking. Can't really see but yeah the gasket was trashed and leaking on to the block.

hey as a secondary question... Im trying to swap out the turbines on the stock twin setup... I seem to have come to a halt as I cannot seperate the turbines from the housing. I've removed all the bolts that are coupled with a securing plate but the turbine doesnt move spin or anything. Any help would be appreciated. Scratchin my head here... lol

You guys are great. This is what it sounds like from a woman's perspective:
"Hoary! Your engine is not blown! You don't have to spend $4,000 to fix it because it is only your turbos. Well, they are blown anyways so you might as well spend $4,000 and go single turbo"
You guys crack me up.
On a side note I really wouldn't bother going single. If it were me I would fix the turbos, sell the car and buy someone elses single project they dumped 10 grand into. They are a dime a dozen now (sadly, because many have to part with it to keep their house)

ThanX for the props. Yeah I'm like why go single when I get a good set of twins and work those till they die and save a little cash to go single in the future. Besides I'm not trying to break and land speed records right now. LOL
