Nice.. cant wait to see these pics! What all did you have to do to fit it in there?

No fair without pics. You still have the twin turbos in a LHD car? Didn't convert to single turbo? I must see pics. Looks like you've got some cool parts too. I want to see the kit and the exhaust.

i deeply apologize for not updating. if you watch the news, manila was hit by severe rains due to a typhoon and the towns that were severely hit were Marikina, Rizal, Pasig just to name a few. I live in Marikina where floods were up to 20ft deep. Fortunately the car was at a high place and wasn't affected. Not so for the rest of my things. Water was chest deep at our place and most of our things were destroyed. Once we recover from this I will certainly post pics because I really want to share this achievement to all legacy enthusiasts. Patience please. Thank you.

yes still twin turbos. Planning to change to vf18/19 bh turbos since the stock primary is showing signs of leaking oil seals.
please wait for the pics. I will be as detailed as possible.
The up pipe and down pipe on the primary got most of the work. As of now its basically cut and welded but we'll be using it as a template for a stainless one.

Sounds awesome! Will definitely be waiting for the pictures. Sorry to hear about your place flooding. As far as insurance goes, are you totally covered? How much of a loss is there going to be for you? Good luck with taking care of all the stuff and I'm glad your car was okay! :smile:

Sorry to hear about your loss, get your life back together then worry about the forum.

Hi there. Glad to hear your BG was unharmed. Sorry to hear about your other stuff though.

We completed the transplant of a JDM SF-9 turbo engine to our BG5 with auto tranny. The tranplant included the wiring harness and ECU. Hence, I have some electrial issues. I'd be interested in how you tackled yours if any.
