    The full kit is like 7 grand on the CAPA site, and with a charger ready to run 20psi... You'd want some internal modifications if you're gonna run that much boost! If you're only gonna run 10-12psi... Then you probably wouldnt bother getting that sorta kit, something cheaper that fits that boost range such as a Raptor kit or... Powerdyne if ya desperate :p

    What would you like to see mate? Twin turbo manifolds are the same primaries with simple pipes from the collector up into the turbos on each side. The complexity with twin turbo is in the intercooler piping.

    I'll try find some photos today, there are a few cars on the Tasty Turbos site that have used FIT manifolds, I am in the process of getting manifolds together for the first few customers since I bought the FIT jigs just before Christmas

    Well, you dont HAVE to run any intercooler. Its just better if you do, less heat, more power etc. that intercooler is only that cheap becuase its so small, sure its water to air but a decent size water to air would cost a fair bit, i'd say just to stick with air to air, you can get decent sized ones for affordable prices these days, maybe something like paradox bought for his.
