Yes, T.T. stands for Twin-Turbo. We started the project tonight. We cut my front bumper up and made the necessary mods we had to make for the intercooler to fit, and it is sooo sexy. Actually makes the car look very wide! Now we have to take it back off and strip it all down, mold the edges up nice and smooth and then spray. I will be at spring-zing this year with the front end done and the rollcage done. Chances are the Twin turbo's will not be functionable by then, but hopefully we'll have them mounted. It all depends on how business at the shop goes. Right now we are pretty busy and don't have much time to work on our own stuff, so we'll try to get as much done as we can with the Mystique. Just thought I'd let you all know:) No pictures will be displayed until SZ05:)
Say bye bye to the old front end...

Man you are in for alot of work. What is your plan of attack for this. I'm not gonna say its impossible, but why realy? Good luck though  . Your gonna be sufocating that radiator, its gonna need some extra air vents, maybe through the fog lights.

Wow, dude. That's awesome! I never expected to see this. I really hope this somehow works. You're one of the few people on this forum that I wouldn't just roll my eyes at with this idea. I mean look at that 'stique! Good Luck!

I guess it's bye-bye A/C, hello custom radiator and a lot of creative piping (= lots of lag). I'd like to see how close that front turbo will get to the radiator  , and the heat from the rear one is gonna be roasting that firewall. Good luck this is going to be a major PITA, which in the end probably won't gain anything over the tried and trued single turbo setup. The only gain I see is the "WOW" factor.

Which I would think is HUGE on a show car like Dean's! Good luck Dean, can't wait to meet you at SZ and check out the Mystique!

I wonder what kind of FWHP numbers he's shooting for... 500 maybe? Should be interesting.
(thinking I gotta put together a proper time table for my poject before somebody beats me to it...)
Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.

I doubht 500FWHP. The highest we(on CEG)'ve seen is 401FWHP, with a T3/4 turbo on a 2.5L. Twin Turbos don't give double the horsepower. 500FWHP is pretty much out of the question with the automatic transmission.
