That's the exact hotside I was planning. I'm running those same headers and have been trying to find turbo elbows like yours. Did you brace the turbos? Do they wastegates work well where you put them?

The elbows were not fun at all to make. Pie-cuts as you can see, but my brother is in the process of machining the right side out of one chunk of stainless. The turbos are braces, you can kind of see the brackets bolted to the hotside turbo flange, then bolted to the radiator support. Not sure about wastegates, this was just mockup for the actual build. still a work in progress

X2 but they would have to be pricey to cover materials and build and design time. Nelson Engines makes a pair like this that go for $1500

I was messing around last night in the shop. If hood clearance and symetry weren't design constraints, building a TT hot side would be as simple as cutting off the stock manifold flanges and welding the T4 flanges in place. These are CXR GT35's loosely bolted to stock LS3 camaro manifolds.
