I love your car, I had actually read your thread about 5 times, including looking (or drooling) at your pictures before i got my car. Just replaced my radiator, and found out that my turbos are leaking a decent amount of oil, so I am hoping to head in the same direction that you did with the td05's since i have had a decent obsession with them since the td04's on my VR4 gave me such a run for my money.
How much custom fitting was there to get the 05 twins in? That was actually my plan too before i got my car, and your car sealed the deal for me

it really does...but its that way with any build i've realized 
and i might not even get the car tuned till sometime in the summer
as soon as its running its going straight to the body shop!! i might not get to drive it and feel what this setup can do for the next couple months!!

I was lucky enough to find an original Re-Amemiya manifold made specifically for this setup, but even still there was some cutting and re-working that needed to be done
space ends up getting really tight on that side of the motor, i say go for it, in theory this is probably the best setup you can do for a rotary
if you have a fabricator thats really good, then its just about how much money you're willing to spend

Yeah i probably will go that way, i'm really hoping too anyways. Where did you pick up your turbos from? Ive been hearing mixed reviews on where/what to get so hearing from someone who actually is satisfied is always a good thing 
I may have to pick up a pair of stock turbos for the time being before I can actually get the TD05h, which is fine still. I'll have to scour the forums and ... whatever else i can find, to be as lucky as you to fall across the manifold for it haha
Where did you find yours?
While I wait for you to respond i'll think of as many more questions to ask you as i can
haha jk bro

haha jk broi got a great deal on the turbos so i sort of settled for these, ideally i would like to have a set of Dual Ball Bearing units
it also kind of worked out nicely for me thought because i realized a couple days ago that my entire car except the Apexi PFC and the HKS exhaust is all Greddy parts
the manifold i found at SP Engineering out in California...as soon as i heard they had one, i bought it the next day hahaha
go ahead and ask all the questions you want buddy, believe me i spent a good 2 years of asking questions to figure out how to make all this happen the right way

lol you guys are awesome. i actually plan on getting a Gopro for the tune, because i'll be hitting up the Udrift track in Vegas Saturday sooooo.. might as well do it real big.
But as for the manifold no, i have different setup from VJ, but its similar(that makes no sense at all lol.) but im running twin GT2860RS's. my goal is response and torque..im also running stock ports sooo we'll see how it goes . 360hp would be cool with me if i happen to make 400 id be completely content. sorry to clutter up your thread VJ!

ye phillips setup is actually what i intended this build to be like...then i got a good deal on the turbos...and then i got bitten by the whole big turbo bug, and now i have giant boobies under my hood
dependent on how the car makes power once i tune the car and everything, i might go down turbos that have a bit smaller compressor housings, and probably switch to ball bearing as well

oh yea i never told u when i started making boost man.. was about 3.8-40k. so now we need tos ee what urs does! i talked with HC and he said i need to port the exhaust to get faster spooling and a bit more torque.

then i have about $12k in parts in the car
the labor for the twin turbo kit was about $500-$600
the wide body fenders i just ordered from shine came out to around $800
then the side skirts and diffuser will be around $700 as well
the paint and body work is about $1800
the dyno tune will cost about $400
and finally my wheels and tires are about $4000
...and im gona go jump off a bridge now

but from what my buddies in the engineering department at FIU told me when they did a simulation of my setup...its good for around 650 if push it
