I need to make a dual 3'' merge for a T6 undivided Flanged Turbo.
Looking for options, ideas and pics of what you have, know of, or have made.
Any info is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your input....But I think Ill stick to my plan. I dont want any restrictions....and since its on a Drag only vehicle....Id say itll work fine in a 3" application. But Ill take pics of 2 or 2.5'' as well....Ill just apply it differently if I see something I like.

I might....But I cant see how considering Ive been told I will be restricted as it is with the Turbine....so I definately dont want the piping to be restrictive at all.

3" cross over is a bad idea. Why do cars making 2500+ hp only run 2.5" crossovers.

OP, another good way to look at it is that 2 2.5 pipes merge perfectly into a T6 flange once you square the ends.
So using 2 3" pipes actually gets you a bottle neck at the turbo. Also, much of the turbo magic is the heat energy. Larger plumbing = more surface area = more lost heat energy.
But if that still doesn't convince you, well, some people need to learn the hard way.

And when your done reading that thread, follow the link to the thread on YB, "**** it, turbo charging 102....."
When you've read that, then come back and say, "****, i guess all these people were actually trying to help me."
Best of luck
Also, Guys, help me out here, who was the guy with the black murdered out ws6 370" with a gt91? or some big turbo? He rebuilt his turbo kit because he stayed the course with 3" and had some of the worst spooling trouble. At the track...
