You'd need a custom/modified exhaust manifolds to run an external WG. Probably an overkill, unless there is a restriction with the internal ones. Even then, porting it or a divorced dump pipe would probably be easier to make then external WGs.

My RUF has a huge external wastegate and a single K27/28 hybrid turbo,

RUF modified the standard C2 exhuast manafold for this setup which doesn't look like that much work.

Comparing a standard 993TT to this is like two good jabs versus a knockout punch

I'll post some photos when I can of the setup.

Nice, I was looking at the K27 for a while, decided on a 60-1HIFI stage 3 wheel in the end. I have not heard of a K28 though. Has your got a #8 hotside?

It's probably worth ZC'ing the hybrids. I loved my original hybrid's but after getting them ZC'd I got some extra torque and then lost some lag (always nice when you go bigger). If you guys are taking them off anyways, I'd look into doing that also.

"The most usable high HP car out here and was just like a big block vette. Insane down low and nutty up top". those are Cort Wagner's words
