    Okay guys-- I was thinking of trying to build a twin turbo truck. Not positive I will do it yet, I wanted to get some feedback.
    I was thinking of getting someone to let me use their truck for R&D. They would get free labor, but have to pay for parts (no mark up). They must be able to let me have the truck for a while, maybe a month or so. If its a built engine, maybe twin t-60's through a front mount intercooler running 10psi to start.
    I really just want some feedback and opinions right now.

    I know you probably don't want to write it on the site, but PM me with a ball park figure on the money I would need to come up with.

    I was thinking about making tubular headers that come up and go forward. I think that would flow better that using some kind of stock manifold. Its all a matter of cost and room. It would certainly look bad ass with coated headers and turbos hanging off of them.

    twin turbo kit would be awesome. i LOVE my truck. the only problem is running the exhaust for both turbos, cause it gets tight. at 15psi i ran a 11.67 my first run at 99mph. LOL tranny went BOOM. would you put the turbos on each side, or both up front?

    Keep in mind, I am just kicking this around and it needs alot more thought, but

    I was thinking the turbos up front on each side, relocate the battery, and hopefully run the exhaust under the headers if ther is room. From the turbos, to an intercooler with an inlet on each side and the single outlet in the center.
    I could be way off since I havent looked at doing this enough. Keep the opinions and suggestions coming.
