Read up on these. It only took me about 6 hours by myself to install the whole twin setup from them. I am running the kit with a HTB2 type 62 top turbo with the HT3b bottom turbo.

I will have to agree with you about only doing it once and doing it right so make sure you sresearch as long as you need to. Make sure you have all of your information before you make a decision. I personally tried a few different single turbo setups and once I installed the twins I wanted to kick myself for not just putting twins on the first time.

Good Luck and keep us posted as to what you decide. You should get some baseline HP/TRQ numbers before you do the turbos, then after. Also, I would add atleast 2 boost gauges when you do this, ideally 3. One for Drive pressure, Bottom Turbo pressure, and Overall. It will help with tuning and just to let you know what is going on in general.

Where would you install the fittings to get the readings. I'm thinking of doing twins in the future and collecting info.

Billet Imput, Billet Flexplate, Repolished everything, all new clutches, and VB adjustment. Still good as new couldn't be happier.

Which fuel system is the best to go with when doing twins?

Just go ahead and read up on the fuel threads... there are enough to make an informed decision. You are not going hi HP so a glacier system would suffice or a FASS 95 or AD system. Just make sure you get good filtration.

Awesome. Does is there anyone who could install the BB twins for me if I go that way around here in the south? Or would I have to go some place far off?
Idk if I can do it myself?

It is not difficult to do yourself if you have the basics down. Or anyone for that matter that has installed twins can install these. Just leave yourself a weekend to do it the first time out. Any competent diesel shop could do it too... it is not a big deal.

Take a good look at our R700 twins. They are going to be able to tow very well with excellent throttle response and they will flow more than enough air for what you have. That still leaves you some room to grow if you decide to down the road. Also our FloMax lift pump is a great pump to use. It is 165gph and 16psi. It is a gerotor design which is a proven design for fuel pumps. You will also have more than enough fuel for what you are doing.

One thing you might look at. Alot of the companies that sell twins have their instruction manuals on their websites. You might find its well within your capabilities.

I'm guessing I should go with tow twins as well? Mainly I want to be able to accelerate quickly under normal driving conditions (ie. not towing). I'm not going for super high horse power or anything. I'm leaving the sticks stock for now... maybe get 60 horse ones later. I already speed too much... so I don't really want more top end that will allow me to speed even more.

I was thinking maybe a 62/14 s300 over a K31
or the BD R700 twins

Oh and I will have a FASS installed by then as well.
I speed in my wifes H3 with a five cylinder and 4:56 gears...its not the power it the drivers foot bubba
