You can see the FFIM.

It retains alternator and battery (and of course a/c) in stock positions.

I talked to the owner. He told me that he discarded the setup because one turbo blew and also because he felt the setup had too much turbo lag.

I have tracked down the tt-kit.

I'm buying it if they will sell it. I'm just waiting for reply.

I don't have any better pictures but I can ask around.

I managed to track down the manifold:

I bought it.

As you can see it's cast iron and it has been welded a few places. There is one crack now but I assume it can be welded too.

I will have them refurbished. I'll grind them nicely and then have them sand blastet and ceramic coated.

Does anyone recognise these manifolds? Being cast iron I assume they must have been made in some kind of volume.

It reminds me of the HKS manifold. But it doesn't say HKS anywhere.

This is the HKS:

its most likely an HKS setup. GReddy and Blitz both used Mitsubishi based turbos with 3 bolt flanges as i recall.

as we already know, HKS has released a couple versions of their single T4 manifold for the 7M, so i wouldnt be surprised if they had a revised version of a twin kit.

aside from that, i dont know of any other japanese tuners that would use garrett based turbos in their kits. those look like GT28RS's, can you confirm or deny?

I don't know which turbos were used but I can find out. The setup was putting out 450 bhp.

I think I will use the GT28RS's when I get some spare cash.
