Default KY Turbo & Performance Twin Build Up

I keep reading about all these insane Turbo builds going on and I had to come out with some of the work I have been doing at the shop.

Here are a few pics of a build that been going on at the shop for a customer. Just a simple yet effective twin setup. I wont give exact specs or the board memebrs name out. We are all racers. If he wants to chime in he can.

Everything stays above the K-Member. The lowsest part of the setup is no lower than the K-Member its self.

Anyhow, here are some pics:











All in all it turned out extremely nice. The customer will be finishing the cold side in house at his shop. We are expecting BIG numbers to come from the setup when the boost is turned up.

Very soon I will be releasing a hot parts package for the guys wishing to buy a Charge Pipe and Down Pipe package for a 6.0L manifold build. I hope to have everything ready by the end of the year (next month or so). I will keep everyone informed on that progress.

Definetly looks pretty cool. How large is the downpipe? I like the way you combined them. I'm going to have to borrow that idea when the diesel twins go on the camaro.

3" out of each turbo and 4" at the main trunk and over the k-member. Loud and proud for sure.

Nice build! Not a big fan of the merge where the DP's come together, but I am sure there was a reason for it (like spce constraints).

Spohn Solid motor mounts. PA Tube K-member.

TCXXMPS turbos. JGS waste gates. You are correct.

how about a GTO hot parts setup?
I am looking into that, but it will be a ways down the road. I run on a super tight budget and a backed up at the shop. I still have a Twin setup to finish, and a Killer sigle setup to complete.

Space constraints are right. I have done DP's like this several times with no Back Pressure issues.

It should be a sucess. I am planning a entry level type setup. T4 flange, 38mm WG flange, O2 bungs for WB & NB. I am working out a way to keep the cost low yet maintain a level of profitability to keep it viabale for the shop. Being a one man operation slows things down a bit.
