I still think you'd be better off with a medium-sized single turbo. Lighter, less complex, cooler. Arguably cheaper to replace.

Well
Is true to some point
But what my target and model is
The group of FD in japan that use stock turbo stock transmission stock turbo that clock TC2000 from 59-55sec
And that is as fast as 997 cup car

Your car would probably be faster than that (because of the tires, suspension/body, and aero), so that's not really a good argument for the stock turbo or transmission.

Someone in the US makes almost exact copies of these, but I forgot the name of them.

The original company doesn't make them for FDs any more, apparently.

I called Garage Star about a week ago about these. They have none in stock, none with blemishes and currently are not planning on making another run, but of course the possibility is there someday for another run.

Sorry to thread jack!!

I did see those, but I wasn't really sure about them since they don't seem to bolt in the rear. Open to hear everyone's opinion on them though.

Those won't sit nearly as low and will be much harder to adjust fore/aft, probably.

Yeah, that's them. I would imagine they only take seats with a mount width of about 400 mm, like most low-down rails.

Don't tell me you're eyeballing your ports?!

You need to use a template, or the ports are going to be slightly different sizes.

I thought maybe you were doing it by hand using just the red lines, and eyeballing the curves.
