Can't sleep, dreaming about a rear mount twin turbo setup.... I can't get around the idea that i might be able to make it work effectively! It's 4:00 AM PST and I can't get this idea out of my head. The piping and oil return are the no brainer, but here's the real question, what turbos should I go with? Modular Turbo (my new best friend!) Has a Master Power T70 T3/T4 hybrid, as well as a full size T70 T4. I've accepted the fact that there will be lag, as i dont expect to make boost until i hit 3k/highway speeds, but my concearns are 1) being able to maintain the boost and 2) being able to eventually make 700RWHP once my 346 is forged. So i guess my question is, T3/T4's or T4's?

Take a look what the corvette guys are using. max i have seen used is T61s and they where on a full race setup that was pushing over 1100bhp form a 427 LSX!
Some guys upgrade there turbos to GT35rs and they seem to work ok. although they d get some lag on the vettes.
Be nice to see two quick spool valves being used to help with lag/responce.
Cheers

I don't mean to hijack... but,
If you plan on building it yourself, why not just build a front mount truck kit? a lot less parts/tubing/lines to run and only 1 turbo to buy
I had a rear mount single for 3 years and there was way too much pipping under the car, I couldn't imagine twice that. Not to mention, you would have to get a an intercooler with 2 inlets on 1 side and 1 exit on the other to take advantage of the turbos and not have to fit a 3'' charge under the car
here's an idea of what I had under there as if you didn't know
