Its still in process. It take time for parts and fab. Currently, i am still waiting for some parts for the turbos. I have about 90% of parts and info of parts.

Intake System:
Few days ago, i found a Y-pipe (that is where the two turbos joint) for our TT kit. I will be using an after market Y-pipe from 3000GT VR4. I am still waiting for www.lexustuner.com's intake system to be finished in about one month. The intake system includes the chrome 3" tube that will runs from MAS to Intake manifold. Secondly, the kit also comes with a MAS adapter plate, which will be needed for intercooler outlet pipe.

I also ordered to K&N filters that is 2" x 3" x 2". They will be mount directly to the turbo under the car. I might insert an extension to get cooler air.

Intercooler:
I faxed an order to Spearco for a custom intercooler. The measurement of the intercooler is 6" height x 30"Width x 3" thickness with 3" 0.D. inlet and outlet. I would like to have a bigger intercooler, but the space is very limited under the front bumper. This intercooler should support up to Stage II kit.

Oil System:
The turbos will have its own oil system. I am trying to find a nice size oil reservior that will fit under the car. As for the oil pump, i will be using Tilton Different Oil Pump along with Earl's oil cooler. I would like to get braided steel oil line as the final product, but meanwhile i will just use the clamp on type. Having seperate oil system is great. The turbos can be cooled down without the engine running.

Others:
As for Stage I, we will be using stock fuel injectors. I think the stock injectors (330cc) can support up to 415 rwhp according to the calculation formula that Corky Bell's book (Max Boost). We will need an inline pump with raising fuel pressure regulator. As for stage one, ECU might not be neccessary. Ignition will be enhaced with either MSD DIS-4 or Ignition Solution. Timing can be retard via ignition control.

Well, that where i am right now. Its slow but its moving.
