He can do that, because he doesn't have the stock gas tank, so it would be a similar setup, just longer piping. Also you need 2 of everything...

Correct me if I'm wrong here guys... but it sounds to me the last thing he should do is buy any kit at all. With the application LiquidClen is attempting... he should look into buying the components he needs separately and have someone or a shop make the one off piping. Buying any kit would end up costing him more on the long run with excess useless parts.

what are you even tryin to accomplish? adding parts for the sake of adding parts? You just cant add 2 turbos inline and say you have a sequential kit. YOu have to plumb wastegates together, along with bypasses, etc. Can it be done, sure. Does it make any sense or offer any benefits over current kits, no.

Minimize (read: eliminate) Turbo Lag, Maximize torque (specifically low end)

Thats what I dont get about all of this, to me sounds like OP doesnt know much about the FI world and read about sequential turbos and thought it was a good idea

so is the purpose of doing this just to eliminate turbo lag? because doing all this work its gonna make it way more expensive that just getting a TT.

go w/ a powerlab kit, those GT35s spool pretty fast and make killer power

Kind of.

I didn't think it would be more expensive than a TT, which was apparently my first fallacy. If (when) I go FI, I would like to have more usable low-end torque, as opposed to having the Turbo spool up at 5k RPM's

my turbonetics hit full boost around 3700rpm, which wasnt that bad as you would think. powerlab was even sooner iirc

but I hear ya about having lots of low-end torque, my current car hits max torque at 1800rpm

The question here is... will the minimal difference between the current Turbo setups and a sequential setup justify the overall Price Tag.

The other question you should ask yourself is what kind of power you plan on going too. If you don't plan on building the motor then I don't see any point in this whole thread. For a tune of around 420 to 450WHP on a stock block... there will be no point in building a sequential setup since the actual turbo is already small enough were Lag is already minimal to none.

I can only see a sequential setup even worth doing if you plan on going +600whp. Even then... there's better and cheaper ways of doing this from Spraying on earlier stages of your rpm to even Super Charger/Large Turbo Combo.
