These will deffinatly out flow your Log now but these are a little more custom and will require moving some components. The turbo sits just in front of the pass head down pipe would go through the hole under the battery and along the motor where the A/C is. If you could figure another route for the down pipe the A/C could stay. Where is your turbo now?

like i was thinking as for the tubrotech race kit, and these headers you can move the alternator up top, like the street kit, then the AC were the alt used to go.
so what do the TT headers look like, where do they fit? how big of turbos can you fit on them (depends on where you put them)
would be sweet if they looked like Harlans.
Draco I would love to do a set for the C5 what were you thinking size turbo placment...
Hope I got to everyones questions little hard to keep up with all the posts.

I would think a pair of T3/T4s would work well - nothing too huge and should spool up quickly. Or maybe a pair of 60-1's?

I don't know if placement in front of the motor would work for twins on a C5, not only thanks to the alternator but also the ABS/active handling computer which sits in front of it on the driver's side. I don't think this computer would react well to the heat. Turbos would probably have to sit down where the stock manifolds collect (I think this is where the TTi and LPE C5 setups have their turbos situated) - at least this should make the downpipes easy! but routing the pipes forward to the intercooler might still be challenging on the driver's side.
Now I'm no expert on turbo design... do you have any thoughts/ideas on such a setup? I know there is a market since TTi is the only really "affordable" self-installable turbo option out right now for us C5 folk.
I'd also consider a single turbo setup if it would be possible to fit a t76-t88 or so
. Perhaps locating the turbo the passenger side front, with the crossover behind the motor.
