Yeah that GT47 sounded nice, but if twins would get me closest to what I want with the least amount of compromise then that's how I'm gonna go Plus, if I can find a relatively cheap way to do the hot piping, I think I'll save some $$ in the long run too.

forward and down hit the frame and accesories. forward and up put the outlets on the turbos to high and at a bad angle for twins. for a single you can see they made it work but to me it looks very busy. rerouting the plug wires, heat shields all over. tubing everywhere.

i do think it would be the best performing and most durable way to do it. just not the easiest or best looking. building a log manifold took me about one evening each and allowed me to put the turbos right where i wanted.

Because most DOHC engines with cross-flow valve arrangements have a far more efficient combustion chamber than in-line valve pushrod motors. That increase in efficiency helps control the consistency of the flame front.

Your are going to have a nice setup either way, me personally I would go with an S80 due to easier packaging and less money, along with not having to build a second header.

As for the Borg Warners, yes, they are the shiznit for sure. Jose and Jason build some bad *** stuff.
Damn, guess I need to pay more attention next time, guess the loud noise of the drilling rigs and and other construction equipment messed with my hearing.

Will I think I might re-evaluate again. After driving my truck around for a few days and paying closer attention to where I'd like to have more power (boost), I think the pt-76gts might be the way to go. I just want the boost to be there at any given moment. I think that might be a good start, then I can go up from there if I feel the need to. Or I can just spray on it to get me where I want to be.

I think you will like it, or the S80, either should get the job done with the S80 having quite a bit more power potential. Call Jose again
