too bad you've already got the turbos
i was gonna try convince you - since they're already on one side - why not go a single - like a gt35 framed turbo!
not very laggy at al, quick spool, MUCH easier piping for cooler and dump pipe(s)
plus more efficiency with big power - a single gt35 has been used on an ecotec to net a 10.88 !!! (ETA-355 VS ute)
They use the same turbo with a 1.06 a/r rear on the 4.0 litre falcons with great results.... you'd go a .82 and have awesome response!
but you already got the turbos

If i was after pure performance then i would go the big single.
Im more after looks and originality. I havent seen twins on a VS on the same side.
Thanks for the convincing though!:yeah:

Did a bit of work today.
The s/s buttweld fittings came in along with 2m of 1 1/4'' s/s straight pipe for the straight sections of the manifolds and 2m of 1 1/2'' for the crossover pipe to the other turbo. I also faced about 10mm off each face on the concentric reducers as they were a bit long. They will be the first to weld onto the flanges.
I got on the mill and neatened up the ports and drilled the holes.
They matched quite well.
Made 2 s/s oxygen sensor bungs to fit to the dump pipes.
