From what I remember it is somewhere around 24" and pretty close to equal length.

I know this is an old post but how's everything going with the car? I was also wondering how much the turbo set up cost because the place I had at ripped me off and now I need to go for a new set up.

It is actually getting wired up right now and after that it is tuning and body work. If you need someone to give you some kind of pricing you can call the twins or goto their site.

infinit1, any updates. I've been dying to find out how your set up is running. I know the Twins Turbos guys are badasses, I've seen their twin turbo set up. They sure do things different from other fabricators.

Also, bends within 3" of the turbine entrance can hurt some of the dynamics within the turbine also.

Silly question here but couldn't they divide the merge pipe and negate the drawback of slower spool with an undivided manifold??
I really don't know so I'm asking this seriously, Who knows maybe it's a new idea.

If there is a more street friendly version of this available, and by street friendly. i mean maybe a full 4 in exhaust. so you can have some type of normal street exhaust ie. Greddy, Blitz and the like. I'm down for this.

This is not a kit and I dont know if they will ever make it into a kit. The car is on hold as I started a new Biz and have no time to work on the car. But just for those who didnt get to see this book(This
is from the book "Street rotary" page 144).

I know what you mean about the car being on hold. My twin turbo project has been put on hold on and off again because of getting laid off, etc. Keep us posted when things are rolling again. Oh yeah, pictures looked great.

Congrats on it at least making some noise under it's own power! Can't wait to see some videos of it driving in anger.

Nice videos. I've been staring at Jack's set up (his car is collecting dust at RRR Motorsports) every time I'm there following up on the progress of my car. The guy has so many cars, a few weeks ago, he didn't even notice he still has a Porsche in his garage . Wonder if he'll sell his set up

Jack's set up is very similar to mine. I dont know if he is planning on racing anymore. You should hit him up. Give the twins a call also they may be able to talk to jack for you. It would be awesome to see that set up getting some use.

Here's my long runner set up. I used the twins manifold as my inspiration. As you can see it's a bit different. Uses a completely divided set up and waste gates are set up further back but runner length is very similar =-) Hoping to match or at least get close to the same power band...with less over-all power that is haha. Looking for 450-480 MAX whp. GTX3582R Divided A/R 1.06. 4" straight through Exhaust, no cats/mufflers
