Even the twin-turbo Supras go to a single turbo for high horsepower applications. Given the complexity of Subaru headers and the length of piping to the turbo, I really couldn't advise a twin-turbo setup. More piping, more weight, trying to find clearance for more piping, balancing the boost for each side, the a/f ratio, ECU tuning, etc would be a nightmare. The Subaru motors tend to have "hot" cylinders that need compensation (the JDM motors use a different plug on one cylinder to compensate for example) so I think you're adding complexity where it isn't needed.

well it just going to be basically stock. i know about the "hot" cylinder so if i was going to go all out..... i would just get a race motor..... and there is no need to have a high powered motor anyways since we dont have a race track anymore.

the link works for me just go to rs25.com and do a search for twin turbo ecs performance did a swap and took pictures.. you need to go rhd the steering shaft gets in the way of the turbo on that side thats why its not budget..if you really want twin look at http://forcedairtech.com/turbokits_wrx_stage4.html 7500 for the setup usdm wrx engines are sooo cheap now adays i would just try to find one of those
