nobody has done a twin turbo setup because:

1) No room! My single turbo BARELY fits as it is.
2) No more gains than a single turbo
3) Its purely for pimp factor and most people are NOT going for that.
4) Unless youve got funny money, the cost to fabricate a TT kit is going to be rediculous.

You might as well just buy a noble because its going to cost a buttload to make it happen on a contour.

pretty much what Jim said.

It is certainly possible to do the twin turbo, but a lot more trouble to do with no advantages over a proper single turbo.

If you must have a twin turbo duratec, get the Noble.

The last time I talked to Dean Joyce he was saying something about a twin turbo. Not sure if he started on it.

"Hi I just bought a contour. I realize that it is a V6 and has two exhaust manifolds. Therefore twin turbos is something I would like to do. I know very little about cars, but I read some magazines. Please help"
