FINALLY AN UPDATE!!!!
THE MANIFOLD IS HERE!!!
so there was a bit of a game plan switch
i was lucky enough to get a super rare find of an authentic RE-Amemiya Twin Turbo manifold!! and this thing is a beauty!!
and even more lucky, it was built by RE-A to work specifically with my turbos
only a handful of these manifolds exist, so I'm going to be real careful with this piece
all i have to do now is modify the waste gate piping to work with the twin waste gates that i'll be running
NO MORE WORDS I SHOW YOU PICTURES!!

so finally a fitment shot
i guess because this mani was on an RHD car the fitment is a bit different than on my LHD FD
the top flange was resting perfectly against the body of the car so we ended up having to cut that pipe to reposition it...its an easy fix but because the metal shop out here isn't getting their inventory refitted until monday it'll have to wait till then
but check it out guys, this is basically what she'll look like *dont mind the super precision turbo fitment tool in between the two turbos*

heres another update guys!
got the turbos setup in the car now
had to modify the manifold a bit to accommodate the twin waste gates i'll be running
so now we just need to build the downpipes
then we can fit in the waste gates
build the intercooler piping and she'll be ready to start up
and don't pay attention to the direction of the turbo outlets...i still have to position then properly for feed into the intercooler
btw Captain Brownie "CB" is my nick name at the shop lol thats why its written on top of the to do list
