Default Twin Turbo?

twin turbo kit
Posibly a good investment for my 5.3 rcsb. Anyone know what it would take besides this kit and overall investment?

I didnt look all that hard but didnt see any fueling items. Injectors etc. And it reminds me of the turbo kits from flea bay. They sell hybrid turbos all the intercooler piping plus the fmic the bov and all. Everything except hot pipes and injectors basically for like 1000$ for a single turbo set up. I have absolutley no experience with them so im not knocking them. But ive bought other stuff off ebay and was just completley let down by some of the items ive gotten. This may not be that kind of kit. Just something to maybe inquire about. Ask where the kit came from brand of turbo and all that good stuff

Those turbos are meant for something really tiny. that intercooler is small. if i remember right, those turbos are roughly what goes on stock eclipses. they are tiny. *okay, on lunch did a lookup and these things are going to restrict your natural aspiration alone. these things are meant for honda civics that don't want to see above 14 psi. evo forums suggest t3 turbo for quick spool(on 4 cyl motor) and t4 for more power production. unsure of what the usual brand you guys use but when i get funded for this project im going borg warner s478. i like loud compression whistle. Even looking at the intercooler from that CL post you can see how teeny tiny the cold side is. if you had a 4 banger id say go twin t3/t4! but the s478 for reference is a t6 flange at i think 78mm. just sayin'...
