Oh that zach, hes at it again... Well, the thought of going back to N/A's-ville sounded lame. I was going to do a very cheap blower setup just to have something because my motor is built and low compression...WELL...
for a ridicliously low total price, i was able to make some phone calls, find some S M O K I N deals...and call in some favors...to assemble this...
more pics are at http://www.camarozach.com/gallery/v/twinturbovette2/
There was nothing really wrong with the tti kit besides a cramped engine bay, that and the car was running...god knows that sucks hahaha, i need to be wrenching apparently. Im already lookin for a camaro so i can keep busy on that while i LEAVE...THE VETTE...ALONE!

Oh, forgot the good info, precision t-61's rated at 680 each.
http://www.precisionturbo.net/turboc...tegory_id=3026
3rd from the bottom on that page.
tial 38mm wastegates, tial 50mm bov
twin Treadstone intercoolers. dimensions are..12.5" X 12.25" X 3.50", the core is 12.5 X 6.00 X 3.50. they will fit in the front of the car to the sides of the radiator, totaly untouching the radiator arear, not being exposed to the wheel well, however still getting air from the fog light/brake duct areas.
I will be fabbing up all the cold parts within the next 2 weeks, and getting the exahust housing on the turbo coated also. then time to test and tune...again...

i think this new set up is gonnna be , good luck manoh dont worry, i bust everyone elses *****, i can take a joke haha. thanks, i really hope it all comes together the way i see it in my head.
the hot parts are the hi flo twin turbo vette setup, behind the fenders style. he gave me an offer i couldnt refused for helpin to test fit a handfull of kits on my vette for nothin. its such a nicely made kit, and the flanges on both the turbo and the manifolds are like .5 inch thick, its ridiclious! im just fabbing up my cold parts becuase i still dont like a FMIC on a vette. the way the air flow is, i beleive its better to just do the twin FMIC's and get on with life. haha we will see if im right though.

And you are right with him changing his mind, the amount of setups and routes he was telling me about had my head spinning.

You seemed pretty serious. You said you were going to buy both and swap them back and forth and see which one you liked more. I heard you also buy clothes wear them and bring them back to the store.
