Long story short, I haven't been on here in ages, but recently sold my DNP mani on here and said I'd update my sig and make a thread @ new top mount BT set up, so here it is. Rocking a SteedSpeed Twin Scroll Top Mount Mani http://www.steedspeed.com/mazdaspeed_36_mzr_turbo_manifolds, A Garret Twin Scroll 3076 w/ .78 hot side (from SU Mark), and Tial 38mm ewg, vta. s*** spools fast as hell, and is fast as hell!!! All current mods in sig. I just finished the install on 4/28, so I'm still rocking the CPE fmic (plan on custom TR8 set up w/ 2.5" pipes). For prep work, I did the following: Upgraded injector seals (stockers blow out even w/ high boost on k04, causing false kr and can lead to head damage), egr delete, BSD w/ gpwerks.com baffled oil pan. I also upgraded all my CPE fmic couplers (which are bad, esp for BT) for some much thicker ply ones from siliconeintakes.com. All T-Bolt clamps (worms = fail). I also replaced ALL my vac line, and it's all is good and leak free (unlike before prep, lol).
Fellow forum member on msf dot org Dustin aka DJ makes a custom DP and SRI/Intkae one piece, and modifies the stock oil lines to work with the custom BT top mount turbo set up, and a custom screamer pipe to go with it. PM him on msf about the kit if you're interested. There's a grocery list of s*** to buy from ATP to complete the kit, and IIRC, it ran about $160. I can't stress enough that the injector seals are a MUST do and not a 'nice' benefit. A dude name SilverDemon created them, and sold them to CPE, where you can (and I did) buy them.
Enough mumbo jumbo, here's the finished product (installed w/ Carlson + Ben 5/28 in one day... I was fully bolted w/ meth, except I was still rocking the stock DP!!!!
Ghetto CPE Couplers vs. Upgraded ones from Siliconeintakes.com. BTW, I've done 90% of the installs in my sig w/ just that lil' sears ratched set, in the very parking lot the following couplers pics were taken (FU people w/ gargages + tools galore!!! LOL JK
)
Installed:
Also, the CPE hot pipe wouldn't fit (different turbo location), but two 18" 2.25" L-pipes and hump hoses did the trick, with no fabbing required! Mocked up before install:
I also had to ditch the stock hood liner tmic scoop thingy so I could close the hood w/ the giant intake, lol:
Install... K04 vs. TS3076:
BT Install, finished pics:
I ditched the ebcs to run spring out of tuning convenience. I'm running a 16psi spring (Tial ewg), but I'm holding 20-21 psi (logs attached). I used an ATP quick tap for a boost source to the Tial:
Don't mind the zip ties, lol
That's all folks! Car is fast as hell. Max grams/sec I ever pushed on stock K04 (fully bolted except for DP) was 270g/s @ 20psi. With the ts3076, I was pushing 364 g/s and increasing @ 6,100rpms, but I had to slow down before I rammed the car in front of me, lol. Car is sick.. can't recommend BT enough to anyone. If you don't go twin scroll GT3076, go twin scroll GT35R!!!!

As soon I get to the venturi/spacer/vtcs delete install, I'll start tuning. I need to get that in order, and I also need MOAR TIMING!!! I may switch from H20 to 50/50 water/meth. I brewed up 10 gallons of it last November, and it's stock piled in my closet, lol.
