And any idea on how big of a down pipe you'll be able to build for the driver side?
Possible to do hot pipes only.
The T3 kit will be 2.5" and stop around the foot area of the fire wall under the cap. The turbos exit ID is 2.500 4 bolt flange. We tweaked the flange to give slight rotational tweaking.

I think ( if memory serves me) i can fit 3" but it is freaking tight. And you need to nudge over the brake lines.

Its installed on my truck now lol. The turbos do sit a little far forward for my taste... Makes it difficult to do the cold pipes as well.

How you like it? I think that kit was 70mm x2?? It's been awhile.
Did you get the crossover merge as well?

Its got a lot of potential. I'm not really challenging the kit enough yet. It still has the 70s. Spool isn't the best but nitrous picks up where it leaves off What crossover merge?

When that kit was built. It had exhaust built that merged both sides into 1) 3.5 or 4.0 single pipe.
Yea those might have been a little large fit daily driving performance.

Problem with some tahoes you will have may be the hydro boost brakes. I know mine has them. It's a little more cluttered on my driver side. What would be awesome is if we could fit the turbos down by the bell housing area like the newer comaros and vette do. Those look real clean. But the frame would kinda be in the way I think.

Thats doable I would use comp turbos. No oil pump sts stuff.
But that would add some very expensive turbos and not work with any 4x4 application.

No, I had to make my own. When I got the kit it didn't have anything like that.

The low mount twin turbo. On the driver side the drive shaft is in that area.

Do it Rick. I am def intrested in.

My stage II kit installed like a dream and if you are producing a TT kit with the same success. Id be all over it. I was just in Napa parking lot showing some guys the kit on my truck... i was thinking about if u took your log design and swapped it to the driver side. prolly need a little tweaking but it would be amazing

... I still owe u pics from my install, i havent forgotten
