Just to chime in and re-iterate some stuff. It is definitely near impossible to "clearance" the trans tunnel for a CD009 without going in and out with the engine and in and out with the trans a few times. By then, you've already figured out where it all has to go anyway and you need to be settled on mounts as well. Weirdly enough sometimes each car is different. I had to cut 2 notches recesses in my tunnel. Clearancing it was not working and after 2 months of bottle jacks either breaking or falling on my face, I was done trying.

One thing you should keep in mind, the T56 is slightly smaller than the CD009 and the bmw ZF 5 speed and 6 speed transmissions are even smaller than a T56 (small enough to possibly need NO clearancing of the tunnel).

And the stock twins are trash in many ways. Ideally going to a single turbo is the best route, even if you don't spend thousands on a manifold right away. I personally went with CX racing and a new borg warner s364.5 turbo. Both cost me around $2300 with the added tial wastegate, oil feed and drain lines, and comes with a downpipe.

Regardless of any route you choose, you're in the right place for any questions you may have. There isn't any other forum with more information.

EDIT: If you PM me, I will send you my spreadsheet which contains damn near every single part I had to buy for my 2JZ swap. You could use it as a reference.
