I would say they are still baby snails though, I ran them with a completely stock 997tt fuel system for a few months until I could be ass'd to drop the engine. I was still achieving good numbers just with 100% meth via aquamist.
I eventually installed 1100cc injectors and have been using them for years until my car has finally come to the operating table again.
Im not sure what the 996 stock fuel system is like though.
One thing I would say, is to go with actual 3071 and not the alpha's, I suffered problems with boost regulation and boost creep due to the internal gates and eventually had to close them off and go external. I now run tial 44 mvr wastegates and they regulate perfectly (and give a nice firework show).
Standard 3071's should be cheaper and should cover the cost of some nice V Band manifolds which will save you money later when you want to upgrade to 35's...
As for intercoolers, I went with the AMS set up, its really great and I think the price has come down a lot since they first launched. The Do88 counterpart looks to be an exact copy, and I don't think there is much price difference between them, also considering the AMS coolers come with a Y pipe.

For the most accurate outcome for the demand, using comprehensive flow mapping software will make your choice far easier. As a result, you'll end up with information on the correct Compressor/Exhaust wheel relative to the turbo housing.
You can then either build your own turbo(extremely fun to do), adjust your existing to hybrid form or gather technical sheets of the turbos on the market and buy which ever one is closest to the parameter that you require.
The key is to get the correct software as some of them are completely useless.

Really interesting, thank you! I had read on the American boards about problems with the wastegates and boost control.
Interesting comment re dropping the engine, didn't you need to do this to fit coolant pipes to the turbos initially anyway or am I getting my turbos mixed up?
