breed: I think there were 2 inch vibrant couplers. They were a little big for the pipes and a little short on the length, maybe a quarter inch. I bought them individually and not in a three foot section like I did for my intercooler plumbing so I couldn't cut them to fit. But I have not had any issues with them.

Thanks for the info man. Sadly, I looked, and I must have tossed my actuators for the IACV and EGCV. I guess it's a no go for me Oh well. One day I will be single and it won't matter

They are stock twins modified with inconel exhaust wheels and GT28 compressor wheels. Supposedly good for up to ~24psi reliably. I'm not really stretching the turbos at this point. I would love to one day put some cams in the car and see just what these turbos can do.

Vwpride12: Thanks for the info man, what's next on your list?
Stockhatch: I myself just put in some GSC S1 Cams and man are they a Lumpy. I'm still on JDM twins but Stu's GT28 hybrid Twin upgrade does look pretty nice.

Next on the list will probably purchasing my waste gate. I guessing a tial 44. Trying to slowly acquire the parts so I'm not dropping a ton of cash at once. It sucks but it is a project. I broke my finger last night at the shop so that is going to be a speed bump for me. Did you have to do any valve adjustments after installing those cams?

Dang, sucks about the finger man.

Breed, sounds like you are on the way to some power in the future. What springs are you running with those GSCs?

Ouch! Dang that's gotta Hurt. Take care of that bro. It's not like u can buy a new upgraded finger from Titan Motorsports.
I had to take measurements after installing the new GSC's then buy new Toyota shims. After that I had to take new measurments to make sure everything was in spec. I has to buy 11 shims, the rest were all in spec.
I sure hope I can get some good power out of these cams. Im still on JDM twins though. I also used Daddy Crower Titanium springs and retainers. Not to be confused with his son Brian Crowers cheaper stuff. The cams are
In.269/Ex.269
