Bandit , I know that I can make it work but my main hold up is the 4" cold pipe coming out of the turbo , the rest would work.

I smell what you're steppin' in. I think the whole thing is going to be a huge challenge to package down low and I'm not sure what's to gain. Twin turbos up high look impressive and should be easier to package.

What if you move the turbo further back? Does that give you any more options for the cold inlet plumbing? Is the main hangup the steering shaft, the R&P, the frame or all three? Maybe a close 90 inlet could help you out or a different compressor housing with a 90 degree inlet.

A friend and I were looking at my Nova the other day and were tossing around the idea of placing small twins in the cavities behind the headlight in front of the fender well under the fender on both sides. Then, running the down pipe up and over the inner-fender and back inside and down back by the firewall.

I think this might be almost possible, but the turbos would have to be the right size. It would almost hide them entirely and give almost full access to the rest of the engine.

Bandit & Ryan , thanks for ur input. Here's a couples of pics & my main hang up is the 4" cold side , I have 2 90* elbows & just wanna make sure that tire doesn't hit the 4" pipe. Time will tell & I like the up position of the turbos but thought that I might make this different on a muscle car like the one for late models.

It's been awhile. I figure that i would try this header set up from 2007 , I cut the flange off & gonna weld a 2.25 pipes to help it spool. I know it looks like crap but trying to fill the different of the OD of the manifold & 2.25 pipe. I'm gonna prob cut the 2.5 pipe like I did & slip it over the 2.25 pipe if it would work & I figure that prob would increase the strength if I don't support the turbo. Also I figure that I put the flex pipe on then the V band then short pipe to turbo . Let me know what u all think of this idea. I know it's prob stupid but I was thinking of helping the spool

Pics , trying 2 come up with something different. I wanted down & forward but the manifold would've been hitting my AC lines.

Here's a couple shots of how I hooked the turbo 2 exhaust manifold , please let me know what u all think.
Thanks Garry

I really like the direction this is going. I am going out on a limb here though.......I think you MIGHT have a problem closing your hood with that channel across the fenders. LOL.


Keep up the great work !!!

garrysturbo

Well I ended up buying SW LSX up & forward headers. A change from my original truck exhaust manifold that was modify.

Went 2 Summit scratch & dent sale & picked up the Flaming River power rack cradle kit & pd $500 4 it. I've been thinking of going power from my original Unisteer manual rack . Then pick up the Holley LS2 main wiring harness & got my parts 4 hot pipes.T4 elbow to 3" , but might try 2 modify by putting a 2.25 or 2.5 pipe inside the 3".
