Default twin Garret 60-1's

Thats the biggest turbo's i can order in the STS kit, do you guys think thats a big enough turbo for my 414? I was thinking more in the 67-72mm area

hey mang, you qwazy!!!

honestly....go with that big supercharger tvs2300 or whatever save yourself the hassle that comes with a turbo kit - they require much more maintenance, fine tuning, supporting mods, more money etc etc.....for a little bit more power but less useable power...imo

Or, you can go from the twins to the centri to the roots and have the spray for special occasions.

67 twins?! Your insane. To be honest, you would be better off with 2 60's done right... youll get into boost faster. Ive been working close with a buddies c5 vette with 2 old (i mean almost made out of wood old) buick turbos... and the car is insane. With the difference in todays technology, and a good setup, the power will be limited by all the other factors of your car... by no means the turbos.

IMHO your better off with a better setup then bigger or more turbos. Theres no point in doing a turbo w/out an intercooler and meth (id also include injectors, headers, heads, cam, intake)... but people skimp all the time. 10k on a system you can only use 10% of, is ludacris to me.

if the car stays a manual, you will want to stay with the smaller turbo's especially since rear mounted.

We built a twin 70mm 408 a year or two ago on an fbody (front mount). I think they were sized pretty good.

I didnt say that you could fit them in the V compartment, just saying twin 70s was pretty sweet on a 408.
