anoly person who used the 6.0's for turbo kit is Mike B. and as youve seen he's on a single.
Kurt from W2W has put a couple kits together using manafolds, he finished up Mikes, and did this other vette but i believe it had the vette manafolds and it to was a single.

If you wanted to get cheap you could get the cats of the 6.0 and hack those flanges off. That is what i am going to do.

Sorry about that. You put the drive on the passenger side and the passenger on the driver side. I was thinking you just flipped it. Like for a Twin set up.

I think that Ricky is pointing out that you would need custom spark plug wires to (a) get around the manifolds like for #1,3 and 2, 4 and (b) might need different angled boots.

I believe that Thunder sells a MSD universal wire kit for like $90.

I like the look of that setup in your attachment Lamont, is that from the OH Boyz?

Hey john did speed inc tune your car. I heard mixed things about them. I have a friend who got a 98 z28 s trim supercharger got his car tuned there. seem to do a good job but my cousin has a grand national. They installed some champion aluminum heads on his car. when they put the headers back on the bolts was too long and it punched a hole some how in the heads. They said its not there fault they didnt know the header bolts off the old heads was too long for the new aluminum heads. And they said he was just out of luck. I dunno I guess theres good and bad talk about all shops huh

I have used Speed Inc. for tuning, and sometime major installs on and off since 1999. My experience has been very good. I have had a lot of friends use them and they have had good experiences.

I think if you do twin turbos you need to look at all the setups that look like what you want. Then I would look at what you are able to get done. Some setups have the turbos low, some up high.

I'd love to see a recent shot of their setup, but I believe they run the truck coils, so in that case they might be running MSD truck wires/ truck coils/ truck coil trays like me:
