they have the templates for an fd but they were thinking the fc one would be a little different.

It wouldn't be too hard to do for an FC because there's a decent amount of space. I was wondering if 2 T3/t4 hybrids would spool up quickly enough without nitrous, huge porting, etc. The non-ball bearing versions are pretty cheap.

if you're not going ball bearing, there's no point to the twins. a single, duall bb turbo designed for the same power output will spool faster, be cheaper, be lighter, and be simpler.

That's what I was thinking, but I just figured twins would be cool.
