Packing twin T4 60's or 66's would be easier than hanging a T6 big turbo in front of the engine think. The big T6 stuff is the size of a turkey roasting pan.

Some of the turbos like the GT42 and S series units are not to big. Its the big boys like the TV series and GT47 and GT55 which get really big. Twin T60's will work with most setups indeed.

I still don't understand why folks on this board think 76mm units are big. Heck we run 76's and larger on Supra's with half the cubes...lol. With a 346 CI engine, their is no such thing......you still are making big power off boost...hehe
