Twins are off!!!!!
Single manifold was mocked up. It fits!
When I get the new wastegate, I will need to get it modified. Then the dump tube will actually fit.

It is going to spank more than hondas. New parts will be acquired when I sell some of my old ones (along with some paintball stuff)
Oil lines ordered.

Update:
Build plans have changed due to new parts being offered (or offered shortly).
I will be going back to the stock twins, only they will not be so stock. I plan to at least get them rebuilt if not upgraded by Albert when he offers them.
This winter and upcomming spring, I will be focusing on the interior and exterior of my car. I no longer have a desire for a fast car, just want something quick that looks really nice. I mean, what is the point of a 350-400whp car with shitty paint and a purple interior?
I will be getting this: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/CMB-24-0005/
Fully converting my car to a black interior (plastidip the vinyl parts and have Empera redo the door cards and headliner)
Attempting to paint my car in the spring using the roll on method
I have 4 18x8.5 +40 wheels that were on my old DD. 2 will be going on the front of the supra, I will be ordering 2 18.9.5 +40 for the rear. Pic of the wheels
I will also be making a rear seat delete and recessing my sub in there, and re-carpeting the whole interior with black carpet.

Yesterday:
Well, as usual I am an idiot. I threw out all of my oil/water lines when the twins came off. Back to square 2 with the single HX35 turbo. I ordered a new bullseye T3 turbine housing for my HX35 in .70 AR that will get rid of the ugly internal wastegate that was welded shut to begin with. It should also save me ~3 inches of space, as the internal gate and housing are fucking massive, and I might be able to get away with running the XSPower downpipe unmodified.
Today:
So, measured the compressor wheel, I got the 54mm one. Definitely going to have the compressor wheel upgraded to the HX40 super wheel (60mm, capable of flowing 69 lb/min at around 2 bar). I also mocked up the housing on the manifold, unfortunately the XSPower downpipe doesn't fit in its current state, I need about 3/4 of an inch more room, and I can either pound the firewall or shorten the downpipe. Or I can fab my own and have an easier time recirculating the wastegate. I am going with the latter.
Here are pics of it mocked up:

Been updating on SF, keep forgetting to update here. The downpipe is going to need to be a 90* turn almost right off of the vband. I need to call DM about it in an hour or so, it looks like their "7m vband downpipe"
So far I have:
got the turbo all mounted up and pretty with the BEP housing
Removed the fuel rail without removing the manifold
inspected a ton of things for what I need to replace
mounted the 2jz-gte waterpump.
When it warms up, I will be pulling the motor and painting the car.
