I say you use two THICK logs and brace the turbo's to the block. Put the turbo's where the A/C and Alt usually go. use a nice vertical flow bar and plate I/C. I'd also recommend getting with the guys that make that MAFT-Pro and maybe your timing will coincide and you can market that with it. A nice tough twin kit with SD tuning would be the BOMB.

why not go for more of a CAS design? It just puts the turbos in the opposite positions allowing you to retain everything? Plug changes are not impossible on the CAS setup. It limits you to the amount of turbo used but this is for a streetable kit and 1000 rwhp is not any where near practical for the street. BTW i am not ******* the kit in anyway as i am sure it will make power and looks very well packaged but it definitely wouldn't be for me. I am glad to see that a solid company is taking initiative on F body turbo kits. Are you guys interested in making something that would make less power and keep all accessories?
A lot of people have been having problems with relocating the alt. did you guys address this yet? Would A/C relocation be an option?
Kit looks great so far.

I think that makes perfect sense Joel. Guys who aren't hard core enough to lose the A/C can do your single kit and upgrade to a T76 good for 1000horse and the guys who want to go all out can do the twin kit with T61s or even T67s or so for big displacement. I don't think you can justify building another ls1 twin turbo kit due to the limited market but that is Just My Personal Opinion.

Not bad. Not sure why shops insist on using 304 stainless when coated mild would work better AND be cheaper...but whatever. IMO, switch to mild steel, coat the logs, ditch the MSD wires unless you are using some custom setup length-wise, and offer it w/o turbo's...or at least with Master Power 60-1 or 62-1. Similar power with less cost. You could drop the whole kit a few bucks with those changes.
Actually, you know what you do? You make a wooden model of some cast logs and get them cast in bulk. The placement is right, the material is not. Won't be cheap, but people WILL pay for leak/crack/headache free manifolds.

It is running awsome and works great and I coulnt ask for any more from the car especially with no supporting mods yet.
