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.
