The "Twin Plug" blew for speed but had a lot of torq....
The CA18ET was great but never produced anymore than 290 Rwhp, The VG30E is great Im building that now( VG30E originally came in my car) As for turbo hoods It was intended to have a scoupe in all the turbo hoods but in 86 nissan got a lot of flak about how the turbo bonet looked , So they did some with and some without.....Just depended on what you wanted to buy.....heres a pic, you be the judge, (Turbos only came in the coupeas far as i know)

i have yet to see anything i've bought already come polished unless it was an option at the time of purchasing.
It looks very nice, but i'm going for a close to chrome look w/ the guy who's polishing it

Those Apexi filters look WAY too small for your application, seems like you'll be choking the engine at higher rpms?

ANyway, that IC is very different, never seen one with 2 in, 2 out, looks like twin spearcos mated together. What are the dim's of the in and out pipes?

I've seen a twin turbo Vette using 2" piping from turbo's to the IC, and then one 4" pipe from the IC to the throttlbebody. 2" is good from turbo to IC, and 2.5" to the TB's should be fine, looks like it's perhaps 2.25? Sure it's plenty.

how big do you need?! thats plenty big. intercoolers are over rated. you don't have to have the biggest. If you have an efficient turbo, its not going to heat up the intake charge much anyhow. there are lots of silvia's in jdm land making 600+ hp with smaller intercoolers then mine, and mine is smaller then wagz.
or just run alcohol and then you have the opposite problem...you have ice on your intake manifold from the alcohol fuel.

those intakes are actually noted to be higher hp gains than JWT and they save space - they just dont filter quite as well
