Words cannot describe that excellence of your car . . . thanks for sharing the pics.
Now my car knows what it want to be when it grows up.

That is just incredible work!
Hey Princeton, Where are the Big Reds? How you gonna stop that beast?

Thanks everyone.
CP - No idea on the power. Hopefully I'll know soon.
Scott - Don't think I'll need the wing cruising around town. I still have the carbon GT1 intake wing with the big boomerang in the garage and ready to mount for track events.
Chris - LOL. I really wish I could find more time to mess around with drawings. Still trying to figure out how to do specific things with the Cosmos FEA too. Haven't had much luck getting the results I want with that yet. =\
Sidned - Well. I dont have much experience forming perspex but the rear bumper is cut so that the lower half of the turbos are hanging out along with whatever else is in the lower area.
Cowton - Yep. Used my trusty Bosch jigsaw and a Ryobi cordless drill. Actually most of the metal for all the fabrication was cut using that jigsaw since I haven't had a bandsaw to use for a year or so.
Frank - You can see the big reds in the very last pic.

Princeton;
Very nice work! Thanks for sharing... I have a good friend who is now working on his own twin turbo upgrade project (his car is a 934 clone). It has been running the past two seasons as a very strong single turbo setup and he has just started to modify his setup to accomodate two new "disco potatoes" (aka Garrett GT series Turbos)!
Anyway, I showed him your pics as I knew he would appreciate your work and he had a few questions that came up if you don't mind...
1. What type of turbos and wastegates are you using (the wastegates look like 38mm TIALs).
2. What is the "U" shaped 3" tube above the two turbos (between the two turbos) for? I can't figure it out. Is it some kind of exhaust equalizer?
Cheers;
Eric
