Default Pics of my new twin setup

Here are some pics of my new turbo setup in progress

Turbos are precision t67 p trims, one 76s trim shown in picture was just for mockup

Headers are 304 stainless 1 3/4 primaries

Will probably finish the whole setup by the end of the month, feel free to ask any questions.

You ever think of selling the headers and making a kit yourself to sell?

Anything is for sale for the right price, we would be glad to reproduce something like this but it is expensive, and there are some serious mods required to the rest of the car to fit something like this. PM if you are seriously interseted. We would probably never do it as a kit just one offs have to many other things going on to make a production kit. One 16 inch fan sits on the back side of the radiator and pulls, (tight fit) and i also have an 18 inch fan in front as a pusher.

Just for the record guys, our kit looks very similar to this. When we do start posting pictures of our kit, I better not hear someone say we copied Seriously, this looks very nice!! Twin T76's will just be insane. Good luck with everything. Again, it looks sick!!

very nice very nice

I have a question or two for you?
that top cross piece that you cut out to relocate the radiator. are there any concerns as far as the integrity of the body? If so what did you do to adress them.

What type of intercooler you going to use FMIC or Liquid/Air?

Once again looks good!!!

Hey, I like the intake manifold. That's a trick looking piece. Pretty ingenuies too, gives you nearly a "sheetmetal" intake with longer runners to keep from sacrificing TQ down low, and I'm sure by using the new GMPP (or is that a new Edelbroic sp? piece) you were able to save costs on it. Does that have factory hood cleanance too? There's a reason that NASCAR Nextel Cup cars run those spider style manifolds. How are you running that mani too? I only see what appear to be a total of 4 injectors that look like they are "spraying" into the plenum? Could you drill the runners and do a "normal" 8 injector setup with welding the bungs in closer to the ports of the cylinder heads??

I've always been under the understanding this doesn't work well.

Opposing fans don't play well together. Goes that way with sports to.

Where are you going to be running the downpipes? I remember there being a large hole to run the passenger side, but what about the driver's side?
