Has anyone tried TT on Truck Manifolds? I been looking at some layouts using the trucks mani's and it looks like you could fit twins on. Maybe route each up-pipe towards the center, with a turbo on it, having the inlets facing eachother and Y air intake. Route the downpipes out each side, one through the AC hole, and the other over or under the K. Just a thought I had as I am seriously thinking of taking the plunge. I enjoy my nitrous, but the all time turbo power is just too much to pass up. Future may hold the answer.

be prepared to spend $$, in the long run it will be more cost effective and less of a headache just buying a kit, trust me, I make them now, and I ask myself everyday wtf I was thinking, lol, j/k... I do love the on demand power and sounds like a jet engine taking off w/this t76, more addictive than n2o... btw, when are you makin the road trip this way?, still on?..

Your making turbo kits now? WTF did you get into, one day your in Hawaii and now Vegas doing turbo's? I need to retire quicker. Pm me whatcha got going on now man.
I need pics of radiators that have been located forward of stock location. I got the jest of it, but want to get a couple ideas down. Single will most likely be my option, with truck manifolds. I'd like to start now, but gotta move first.

We are finishing the mock-up on the smaller of the customers twin turbo car. We are using the truck manifolds. If placement is correct, they will fit. It does take some time to get it correct.
David - your car is very nice!

Thanks everyone. I am NOT going to hi-jack CAT-3's trend with my stuff. BUT the SS started finally for the 1st time this last weekend. All the electrical greminls are gone. We have - what we believe and AEM also - the 1st LS1 to use the AEM for our engine management. We put full 3" exhaust through mufflers. Still sounds awesome.. I'll post a very short video of it on a separate trend.

David, please feel free to post it here as well. Sorry, I searched but wasnt finding TT Truck Manifold info...I suck at searching in this forum (nitrous is so much easier 
). David that is way crazier than I need to get into. Beautiful, sexy, dreamy, DAMN. But definately not for me. I am calming back down after seeing your setup. I am thinking truck manifolds and a decent sized turbo will motor my old *** around town, highway and track well enough. I'm content running low 10's, high 9's would be great...full trim. Holy ****, I was thinking little twin turbo's but OMG...David, that setup is WOW.

Looks like depending on how high you mount the turbo for drainback purposes whether you need a pump or not.
David, are the two fittings and hoses going into your front cover for oil return? First time I seen them in the front cover. Looks very nice.
I am not looking at anything as nice or powerful as these setups...but I know how things go, so I'm glad you all have been sharing your issues, pics etc.. Thanks to all.

Yep the higher the turbo the better off you are. Mine is mounted towards the middle of the engine and drain back is good. I should have gone higher, but we were rushing to get it done.
IF you mount the turbo lower than the pan, you'll need a scavange pump.
