btw, going twins is a whole new world, these turbos feel like they're hardly working, you can't hear them spool, even with open down pipes, they spool up quick, and are very quiet; however the exhaust is a bit noisey. The truck just feels like it's breathing and not choked up anymore. I think 20psi might make these twins sing a little.
It pulls endlessly as well, no flat spot on the dyno.
A little more testing, more wrapping, and maybe we'll make it to the track.
thanks,
allen

And what about something like a couple of those f-body or Corvette, I don't remember, snorkels that bring fresh air over the top of the radiator to the intake?

Well it turns out that having it mounted below and next the rad isn't causing any issues. We also though the cap had to be somehow vented, this cap is sealed air tight, no valve, and it's working fine lol.
The bottom of the tank has a spill over tube, we just capped it off.
I'll post something up soon,

There's not much back pressure, or can't be too much, .96 housing, 3" down pipes, they seem to be matched just right..
Get some info on other stuff, I'll get info on this one and we'll see what compares, I'd be interested as well.
thanks,

Typical is 3:1 or 4:1 hotside vs cold side. Inefficient set-ups get to 5:1 or more. Really good is around 2:1 and then there's Dusty who's seeing close to 1:1 with his Borg Warner 5" downpipe monster.

How true. Awesome build.
So Wed. came & went; track details?
I hope mine will put those numbers down once I can get it running and tuned.
