STS Twin Turbo Kit? I like the idea of the rear mount turbo on the STS kits but what about a twin turbo kit like this? Would it work? The reason I ask is because the turbo is mounted on the left side on the current kit. I dont' know very much about the STS kits but it would be cool if this could be done. Please give me your thoughts on this.

I don't think there is a real big advantage going twin turbos, its kind of a bling factor thing. So doing rear mount twins kind of makes it pointless.
Sure you can get smaller twins to spool a little faster and harder, but loose top end, or even spool normally and have great top end, but I just don't see the point of rear mount twins unless you just like spending money.

Oh okay. I was always under the impression that twins made more power, hence my question in this thread. If I can get just as much out of a big single turbo then I'm all for it. I don't care about bling so much, I just want my passengers to **** themselves when they feel the raw power of a turbo'd LS1.

Yeah JAMMER is makeing a twin kit now. He's prolly close to finished and from the pics it looks very clean. Should be a fun setup. But I think its more for the bling fator to.

It's an awesome truck. worth pressing search I promise. 
That's an idea, sequential rear mounts. That might cure the slow spool and/or running out of steam problem with correct turbo sizing. What turbo could I plug into my H2D to pick up the low end?
