Some progress pics of the Twin turbo setup I am making. This kit will support T4 T60 thru T76's and will support anywhere from 700rwhp to 1100rwhp depending on which turbos you use.

The goal is to retain the radiator in the stock location, thats why i mounted them low. You will need to run an oil scavenger pump(s) to push the oil to the pan (or up to the valvecover like the STS kits do). This kit deletes A/C and the AIR pump, but other than that everything else remains. I still need to do some grinding and clean up work, but here is the layout of the pass side.

I ran out of 3" pipe, so i cant finish the DP till it comes in thursday. I can mount the wastegate, but then I am done with this kit till thursday. If nobody wants to man up and buy this kit, i might install it on my vehicle.

i'm assuming youre just going to run a "screen" over the inlets?

Correct. this is a race setup (track use with limited street use).

Just curious, but is there the possibility of air starvation for one or either of the turbo's mounted like that. Air is a fluid after all, and will only flow so much through a given area. Packed in an engine bay like that, I'd be curious of there being enough air flow to accommodate both of those turbo's huffing air at full spool through there.

I was thinking the same thing, that they would possibly be fighting over the air

You're the turbo guy!! As long as you think it'll work there should be no problems.

Airflow is like electricity... path of least resistance. Isntead of fighting eachother for air (each inlet of the turbo), they will just pull air from the surrounding area (lots of air under the car).

That's where my concern was though. There's not a lot of extra airflow where those are.

The underneath of the car is open to air... no restrictions. You dont need air to flow into the turbo... the turbo will pull in surrounding air thats near the inlet. i dont think it will be an issue.

looks like it would be fun. can you tell me why a part of the runner on the exhaust manifolds are smaller diameter than the rest?

Even with the bottom of the K-member. Doesn't look that way from the angle of the shots though.

I am not sure what you mean? Do you mean the primary on the last cylinders on each manifold is smaller than the body of the manifold? If thats what you mean, then here is the how the layout is:

All primary tubes (all 8 total p[rimaries) are 1.75" and main exhaust manifolds body is 2.5".
