very nice and clean looking setup. Alot of tubing removed from the car. Was the vehicle bone stock before this setup?

Hmmmm, I just noticed that the EGT sensor was on the DP of the aft turbo. I was wonder how well this location works when it comes to tuning the vehicle (using the EGT to help). I've been researching so many things for my turbo set-up and this is one area that I have yet to find a definite solution as to how to do it correctly. I would really prefer not having to weld a bung to my Full-Race turbo manifold, if it can be helped.

Any info is appreciated!

BTW: I like the creativity, and even more so, I like the craftsmanship I see in all of these pictures! Great quality work! Good Job gents.

The EGT after the turbo will read roughly 250-300F cooler than before the turbo. However, if you put the EGT in the exhaust manifold, it's almost a given that the EGT probe will break at some point. And this probe/tip will end up going through the turbo; not a good thing.

Pre-turbo is prefered, but only for a temporary amount of time.

I really like the logic that went into it. I was expecting a lot more in te mid-range tough. I guess when it's 2 cyclinders trying to spool 1 turbo, it will still have the same lag. I'm not sure what the owners intentions were (if it's to road race or just street). For road race, I think I would try to go with a slightly smaller turbo, to make this a real beast at the track. I'm sure you guys are going to run a big oil cooler/???

IMO EGT's are worthless. Its like throwing money away. Ive never used one and never had an issue on lots of other turbo cars...including the s2k.

Correction: one EGT is worthless.... one on each cylinder has huge benefits.

People without the funds to do something like this will never understand. Until they do have those funds, they will ask "why."

Props for trying something different and creating a clean set-up with high potential.
