maybe he meant fahrenheit?

Someone mis-spoke, the 600 deg. Celsius figure is my EGT reading. On most turbocharged cars, it's higher.

To whomever thought the placement of the 'oil filter' was strange:
That looks like a catch can to me. Used on turbo cars to catch the oil vapor before it gets to the manifold.
Those are some nice looking turbo installs. I'm anxious to see what you guys run at the track with varying amounts of boost. Get any faster, and I may have to switch to a single turbo too.

This is very intriguing. I guess that a question that I have is how complicated of an installation is this? Also, are there any shops that would be willing to perform the installation?

As for how complicated the installation is, I couldn't really tell you. I watched my mechanic do it but most of what he did on my car was fabrication. You would receive a 'bolt-on' set up for the most part. It will have instructions and if you run into any problems you can call Dwight (fabricator) and he can help you. I don't know any shops in NC so I can't answer your other question. Take a vacation to Florida and drop off your car for a few days with Dwight. I would suggest that whoever would do the install would dyno tune the car. You need a V-AFC for fuel mapping and it's way too rich initially.

Yes, I would also be very interested in knowing what drivetrain (clutch, differential) mods you might have made to handle the extra power.
