a little late to the thread... But, i am currently in the design stage of my Twin turbo setup. I picked up a pair of old, but still in great shape, IHI VF48s They were on the old loyale turbos. These were a good choice, in my mind, Because they were made for a 1.8, so half of ours being 1.65 it should work damn well. It shold work nicely, putting me in boost very quickly and providing just enough from each turbo to not be over working them, and still have enough left in them to go for higher boost later on. So, thats where i stand on that so far. Im looking for all the flanges and plates ill need to make them mount cleanly. And im still trying to figure out what im going to do for intercooling. Im thinking i will go with two thin sidemounts, or a thin 2-passage.


*ADD-ON*
The only problem with getting the IHI VF series turbos, they are a real PITA if not impossible to rebuild. So we shall see what happens with those
