Holy crap I just wet my pants. That's a pretty ingenious way to mount the turbo's. Makes me think of the HP turbo set-up for the corvette's mounted down low in that location. Are you gonna leave those dumped like that or are you gonna run true duel's out the back for the exhaust? Looks impressive...why wasn't this around when I was shopping for a turbo??

 

How is oil change without removal of that pipe under the oil pan?

 

That's awesome! That's pretty much what I am/was going to build if and when I go with twins. My only concern is if larger turbos will fit there if you have a larger cubed engine. My turbo currently sits a little bit further back than the passenger (your driver's) side one. It works very well with factory manifolds and minimal piping. IMO, the only downside is having to run an oil pump.

 

This is more similar to an sts kit than a frontmount IMHO. Still looks like there would be some issues with the 4wd guys. Im not too big on having extra to fail ex: oil pump.

 

So this is set up for factory manifolds right. Any aftermarket long tubes and the cit would have to be customized, right?

 

Thats right, we use the factory manifolds, pointing the right way, and keep the heat out of the engine bay
We are hoping to see 500rwhp on lowish kinds of boost pressures < 10psi and will post the results from our Dyno Dynamics load dyno next week, along with final installation pictures

 

thats how i was thinking of doing my twins as well. but im still up in air of custom logs or manis

 

Those turbos are just as close as they would be to the exhaust manifolds as an engine compartment install, and even closer than a single in the engine compartment would be. Looks like a fair amount of charge pipe but not too bad.
Must make a hell of a noise being right under the floor boards though!!

 

Heat in the engine bay is not that bad with a front mount. We have been running our twin kit on our test truck for 2K miles now with daily driving. No coating either.

Martin, I think what others might be concerned with is the idea of an oil pump, enough people already got hurt from the STS kits and their pumps.

I'm not sure if bigger turbos will fit there though. When I get my truck back I'm going to hold my turbo up in there and see. It's a PT67 so it's of decent size, but twin 67's on a 408 is plenty. I really want to know if 60-1 T3/T4 turbos would fit there.

I know my single isn't that bad. With the factory heat shield under there, sound deadening and carpet, the engine's exhuast note is still louder. Most of the noise that makes the STS loud is the lack of a tailpipe or muffler.
