So after a long drawn out winter and a really slow spring... my car made its last voyage as a twin turbo... Rolled out to the Supras vs rx7 meet out at Island raceway. here is a photo from when the crew got to the event...
That was about two weeks ago and here is a photo I took of my engine bay once I got back home and wanted to take a BEFORE photo...

First day of the tear down and I got the IC piping out and the turbo intakes and Y-pipe off.
I know I had a oil leak in the car... I knew one of the turbos had to be shot for some reason (probably from the super poor mans non-sequential conversion) but there is oil all in my piping, here it is sitting in the Greddy Elbow.
and then to my shock there is about a inch of oil sitting in the bottom of the IC. FML.
there was even oil in my BOV. and aside from that here is why you don't have a plastic hose sitting next to the turbo... it gets super crispy and breaks! 
That was just the first day, which was this past saturday, got the car jacked and set up and everything so day 1 was a little slow... I like to take it slower and put everything somewhere where I can find it later. (not that I will need half the stuff I am pulling off the turbos)
I took off Monday from work to get stuff done on the car... lets just say it was a fail for the first half of the day... after running chores and trying to get my BOV flange welded to my IC piping I lost all day doing nothing... but I finally get to the garage to get some work done.
OFF COMES THE UIM AND GREDDY ELBOW!
AFTER SOME RUSTY BOLTS OFF COMES THE DOWNPIPE AND I WAS ABLE TO GET THE O2 SENSOR OUT WITHOUT STRIPPING THE THREAD
THEN BAM!!!! OFF COME THE TWINS AND MANIFOLD.
LETS SEE IF THERE IS SOME PORT IN THERE THERE! LOOKS TO BE BURNING OK... MAYBE
NOW LOOKING LIKE A LITTLE GOT DONE THIS DAY.... EVERYTHING IS OFF AND READY TO GET THE NEW SET UP STARTED!
