Heres a few pics of the turbo setup on a 95 Firehawk thats been turned into a 25.2 outlaw 10.5 car. Its a big block chevy with 12 degree heads and twin 88mm turbos. Hopefully next week the intercooler will be mounted and the aluminum run.

Thanks for all the nice comments!

Also Steve "ripoff" Schmidt Had nothing whatsoever to do with this motor. Not to be an dick or anything, I bought those valvecover befor he screwed me on my pistons and rods. So I hope they get damaged so I can replace them. He may can build a good pro stock motor, but knows nothing about turbos.

He did port the heads for me though.

Sorry about that.

Yeah, after looking at the pictures I realized I should have clocked the turbine housings to the side so the intermediate pipes didnt have to come from underneath.

Thanks Jerid

Your downpipes are going to be 90'd straight down in front of the motor and then back? If not how are your downpipes/charge pipes going to be run?

The down pipes will turn down right off the turbo, then will be run between the frame and the struts. theres a pretty good bit of space between the turbos and the motor.

As far as the cold side. First of all the plate on the back will be moved to the front of the intake and the throttle will be on the back side. A throttle can be put on either side of the intake. so it can be setup for different combinations. The 3" tubing from the turbos will mate up to a 4" pipe along the passenger side. He should have them run by next weekend, Ill get some more pics then. The intercooler will be in also.
