Twin GT-30s w./ TiAL housings

I just received my turbos from TiAL. Lots more pics if anyones interested. I'm putting these into my FD. The plan is to run 2 TiAL 44 wastegates on a custom stainless steel manifold. I'll be incorporating 2 50mm Tial bovs as well after the i/c.

Those tial housings look like they were made for a 13b in mind.

Have you considering running equal length (somehow) straight pipes into both of them and then have the downpipes collected into a header?

Are these going to run sequential or parallel?

What are the engines power goals?
What is the car(?)'s intended purpose?

Post progress! I'm loving it.

I have a build thread in the n.w. forum that has all the info you seek. It's (my FD build) and there's a lot of pics. The turbos will be parallel with an equal length runner off of each rotor. At some point the runners will merge. The manifold will consist of 321 stainless steel. Only V-bands will be used to connect everything. I'm shooting for the 500h.p. club. The car will be used for weekend fun and I plan to show.

The housings were around 300ish each. I was thinking $$$, but not to bad. I'm looking forward to not seeing all the rust that I would've got on the regular steel housings over time. These are supposed to be 1/3rd lighter than the regular housings and the V-band connections make it easier to remove and adjust. I'm glad that TiAL sold the turbos and housings as one unit. Made it easier on me.
