Default Twin remote mounts and crossover

I am doing a twin, remote mount turbo setup. The turbos are about 2.5 feet from the collector.

I have one back going from collector, into turbo. Same with the other.

I generally understand the concept of the use of a crossover pipe in N/A applications. But what about turbos, specifically a twin semi-remote setup? Do you still do a cross over, and if so, before the hot inlet of after?

Shouldn't need one - just extra volume to charge before spooling and any pressure discrepancy on one side will balance out as you merge your outputs into the motor.

I think I understand. So because of the compressor pressure (ie, turbo application) it will balance anyways.

So if I go engine, exhaust headers to turbo inlet, then turbo exhaust outlet, straight out the back (2 separate exhaust tubes, one for each turbo), I should be ok?


Thanks,
Jeff

You'll be fine. That's how I had my 300zx TT set up. All of the premade aftermarket exhausts had an X-pipe just to keep the back pressure balanced .

Yep, once the turbos get through with each exhaust stream, there is no benefit to a H or X-pipe, except possibly noise reduction.
