Default APS Style twin turbo mount in F-body - looking for manifold

I saw one project with LS3 manifolds modified. I am looking at modifying some Hooker LS swap cast manifolds.

Any other ideas out there? Any feedback on turbos that fit behind the motor APS style?

You mean, something like this? If so, I think they're all custom made.

Yep that's the one I was looking at. I messaged him but looks like he hasn't been around for a couple years..
I don't have any problem with fabbing it up, just trying to avoid any pitfalls someone else already struggled with...

I was contemplating it a couple of Winters ago but found that my (ON3) GT35's would no way fit between the turbular K-Member , engine and body of the car in that location. I'm sure if I went to a smaller pair of turbos , it would've worked.

Well the GT3582 was on my short list of turbos but sounds like that is a no go.. maybe I am asking for more headache than its worth to tuck these behind the engine... My main problem will be finding dimensions on these different turbos without having to order one to see if it fits...

The gent I was originally conferring with on the twins (used to be 'INTIMID8' or something like that). He was (may still be) at SpeedInc and had a 9 second twin turbo M6 Fbody(convertible?) I asked what he recommended and he said twin T3 PT58's. Looking at them now, they have a small turbine housing which would likely be a better candidate for that positioning but, man, are they expensive(EDIT: Just reread the ad and they are ceramic ball bearing versions , hence, the high price). Just looked now and Jegs wants $1,649.99 a copy. I wonder if VSracing has a PT58mm clone?

I'll do some poking around.. Our track is only 1/8 mile here and I was running low 6's with my single, was hoping to do better, but starting to look like up front twins or a big single and trans-brake I guess..
