I put the extra one in the back to hell with compressor surge. That turbo will move a ton of air and we all know what surge can do to a turbo.

Hmmmm.... I am not sure what to think of about the side exhaust dump. Why not straight to the ground rather than out the side?

ok I am about to ask a dumb question but why not flip the turbo so the exhaust housing is on the other side to have a few less bends in the system?

Because there might be one less bend but the way I have the turbo supported the inlet for the turbine side needed to be on the top. You cant really see it in these pics but the turbo is mounted to the frame in the rear

are guys going to wrap the exhaust pipes ?

the pipe that goes from the turbo compressor to the intercooler is very close to the exhaust pipes, i know it will still pass threw the intercooler but the intercooler will be much more efficient at cooling the air if the exhaust pipes where wrapped, and the turbo will spool faster

Ceramic coating + wrap works even better. My setup spools really fast now.
