Need a lot more details. What all do you have done to the engine now?
Whats you're whole fuel system like?
What kind of twin turbo setup? Brand and what trim turbos?
The motor is a 306 all forged, alum. heads, edelbrock upper & lower, kinda big cam (not sure what kind) 30lb injectors, ? fuel pump, 76mm mass air, 65mm throttle body, underdrive pullys. Not sure if you needed all that or not. Not sure of the brand or kind but it said it was a T3/T4. Hope thats enough info.

yeah, good luck with that, lol. it they turn out to be chinese turbo's all is not lost. you can have them rebuilt with quality insides. looking at your list of mods, first thing that stood out to me was the "? fuel pump". if you don't know what pump you have, go aheas and get a 255lph one. I prefer walbro's myself. a wideband o2 sensor and gauge will help you too in getting it tuned right.

I'd go ahead like said above with at least a Walbro GSS 340 255lph pump intank.
Important to know what cam you have though. Turbo cars run better with wide lobe seperation cams. Even stock cams work well for that reason with turbos.
If you're going to have buy injectors I'd buy 60's and a matching maf. May seem like an overkill but they do great around 450-500 rwhp and can support way more if needed. 30's aren't enough with a 306 h/c/i turbo setup.

If it's one of the ebay turbo deals, you can probably get away with 42lb injectors and support 450-500rwhp reasonably. You can run the PMAS mass air set up for the injectors and the car should run pretty decent.
There is alot of stuff I didnt know about this turbo idea I had but all I know is I hope I didnt get in over my head. But with all the tips I am gettin from ya'll I am sure I can make it all come together with a little more money than I exspected. LOL!!!!

The turbos are 35mm and they say they are hybyrd turbos and it says A/R .63 on the part that bolts to the header and A/R .50 on the housing and yeah it is a kinda cheap kit but by far not the cheapist. All I know done to the fuel system is the 30lb injectors I think the rest is pretty much stock.

Can you tell us WHERE you got it from or maybe post a link to the ad or auction??
we'd prob. get more info for ya that way.
i might have a set of 60's for ya for sale soon... thinking of moving up AGAIN :taunt:
I got them off Ebay from eworldsales it is the street demon kit. Not sure if that helped you out any or not but I hope it did.
Also if you decide to get rid of your 60s let me know cause I have to get me some soon.
