Update on my twin turbo project

As some of you know, I'm in the process of doing a twin turbo conversion on my blown 3.2 motor (using 993TT heat exchangers).

After much deliberating in terms of which turbo's I'm going to use for his conversion, I've decided to stick with the KKK solution, and go down the K16/16G hybrid path. This is mainly due to the fact that a lot of the 993TT and 996TT guys have had extremely good results with these babies. Also, I had some K16's lying around and it was only going to cost $1200 to have them rebuilt into hybrids with new, upgraded 1.0bar wastegates It was the cheaper option compared to buying new GT's and modifying the 993TT HE's

I also considered the K16/24's, but wanted a little more airflow and efficiency than the K24 compressor wheels can provide. The Mitsubishi 16G wheels are a newer design and flow up around the 35lb/min each So in terms of total air flow, I should have around 70lb/min of total compressor.

As for exhaust design, I decided to hang a set of these Awe Tuning Muffler/Cat Bypass pipes off the K16/16G's... it will be seriously LOUD!



I will shoot pics as I begin to bolt everything up on the car over the next couple weeks. I'm pretty excited to start on this project and can't wait for the end result.
