General -
Moved the Battery to the trunk
Moved the MSD to the interior of the car
Move any wiring that will come close to
the turbos
Removed the A/C compressor and the rest
of the A/C system
Removed the Power Steering pump and lines
and cooler (left the power rack, but drained it)
Cut openings in the inside on the engine
compartment where the turbos stick through into the inner fender area
Turbos -
Garrett/Air Research T-03 turbos off of
mid '80s Thunderbird Turbo Coupes with .63A/R Turbine housings
Took the Elbow off the right turbo and
cut off the turn down and had a friend weld it back on upside down so that
it will be pointed down when that turbo is mounted.

Exhaust -
Took a pair of Mac unequal length shortie
headers and flipped them upside down
Cut off the flange where it is still 3"
Used 3" to 2.5" Header collector reducers
to go from the cut headers to the 2.25" pipe(3" to 2.25" would have been
better)
Used 2.25" mandrep bends fro JC Whitney
to get to the turbos from the reducer
Made the Turbo Flange from some thick
plate and a piece of 2.25" exhaust pipe
For the exhaust out of the turbos I have
only put on some 18" long bent 2.5" pipes that exit in front of the front
tires
Oil system -
Tapped the oil pan on both sides in the
front corners for the oil return lines as per the instructions for a Vortech
Supercharger, and threaded in fittings and temporarily used some heater
hose for the oil return lines.
Got some brass "T"s and assembled the
oil supply take-off locations where the old oil sending unit was located.
Used some Russell #3 line and fittings
to get oil from the engine to the turbos
Intake Plumbing -
Ordered a K&N carb hat like the one
Mike Sitar used on his Thunderbird.
Used mandrel bends from JC Whitney
Used a Flowmaster "Y" pipe to merge the
2 turbo outlets into one
Used some fuel hose that fit over the
pipes and hose clamps to connect it all together.
Fuel System
Mallory Comp 140 fuel pump
1/2" aluminum fuel line to the regulator
3 port Mallory return type regulator
#6 braided steel lines from the regulator
to the carb
Holley 650 double pumper carb
Replaced the brass floats with the black
plastic "Nitrofil" floats
Jetted the front and back up 3 sizes to
70s in front and 76 in rear
50cc rear accelerator pump
