if you don't mind me asking, what did you pay for the pumps, did you get them locally or imported?

awesome! are you going a dual in tank setup? what pump bracket will you be using?

Yes both in tank. I will make up custom brackets that straps onto each pump with a tight fit on top

What waste gates do you guys think I should install?

I initially bought a Tial 44mm vband wastegate which is water cooled. Was planning on plumbing both chambers to feed into since I have a twin scroll setup aswell. But I've decided to go with Two Xcell 38mm wastegates, I know of 5 or 6 E36 turbos running them with out fault.

Yes 2 waste gates are the way to go for a proper twinscroll..I ordered the 2x turbo smart 40mm comp gate.

We decided not to use the moroso block filler..and after testing comp ratio with new gasket it was too low. We send block back to machine shop to deck more to get it to 8.7.1 comp ratio with that we added in 23 steel dowels matched material to block for added support on walls and gasket under high boost..
