i searched and couldnt find what i wnated to know. i am looking at building a twin turbo kit from a couple turbos i got from a friend. i am wandering what parts i am going to need besides the turbos. i know i will need some sort of header, and then the pipes back to the exhaust. i will need the intake plumbing as well. my question is what else will i need, i hear about a BOV, or wastegate, or bypass valve. which one of those or which one(s) of those will i need, and where will i mount them on the piping. i got a friend going to do my welding and help with fabrication i just need to know exactly where those little part go, and which ones i will need. thanks

whats up Mac-man i have researched turbos a great deal and I'm building a twin turbo set up myself.

Ok you can copy my stuff if you like.

first. I would start with a set of MAC shorty headers. The reason for MAC is that they don't have that solid header flange. So you can flip them around with ease.

BOV ( blowoff valve) i have all this stuff on my car domain page

Intercooler
2 turbo flanges
AN braided lines
oil inlet and oil drain fitting
a 90 degree oil filter relocation kit
2 wastegates
some silicone hoses and some 3" tubing and 21/4 tubing

if you flip the headers and mount the turbos in front of the front wheels you will need a set of coil-overs so you can run the turbo exhaust through the A-arms. then you cut your H-pipe and reweld the flange so that it is straight not angled up and you should be cool.

Mind you i have yet to do this but this is my plan and it seems the best for a SN95 TT system. I'm still collecting parts.

Oh i forgot about the 42lbs injectors and the 255lbs fuel pump

Also when you run the plumbing from the turbos to the intercooler run them into a y_pipe and then into the Intercooler So you can save money from buying a $600 buck intercooler. You can get them all day on ebay for only 200.
Hope this helps
