/\ what he said /\
its basically a more efficient turbo, that uses the exhaust pulses more effectively to spool the turbo. Thats why you need a new header and special up pipe that keeps the #1-#3 and #2-#4 exhaust gasses separated all the way into the turbo.
BTW Preston, whats the word....is my stuff still bolted onto the engine? Also, can you check to see if those engines have the oil pan on them still? if they do, can you pull one aside for me? I could get one from any dealership, but if I can get everything all at the same time in the same place, thats just more convenient. If they dont, then oh well, I'll just go to the dealership.
Charlie: will do bro...its still gonna be a little while though, cuz I still gotta find a DP....however, I have found a few, and am just waiting for a response from the sellers. Zerosports makes a SICK twinscroll DP that is catted, and just damn sexy....I emailed the distributor earlier today (they are in the UK) to find out more info, and see if they'll ship me one. No response yet.

Ted - Yes, your parts are still on the engine 
The mechanics are swamped here. I'm gonna grind them to get the parts taken off asap. Will give you a call when they're ready.
Cheers

LOL imma have to get one of those "take a number" dispencers and bring it with me after this is all done.
have no fear people....there will be plenty of rides to go around.

Edit: Preston.....I appreciate it bro....but dont worry about rushing them to get it off just yet...I wont be able to pick the stuff up until next week (Tues?) anyway....so no need to stress them out about it right now. But if Tues. rolls around and the parts are still attached to the donor motor......well....then I guess the whole engine will have to come home with me

My eyes shot open in the darkness and the only thing I saw was the glowing green trunk release.
After stopping, I heaved and puked my guts out. I looked at the side of Ted's car and noticed a foot sized protrusion on the passenger rear fender. About that time, I also noticed something resembling a bowling ball with clasped bird wings on the other rear fender. I felt like I had just gone through a rite of passage. I was a real man now."
