Ill see if I can find a pic of it for you guys.

I'll have to try and get pics, a buddy of mine locally made his own twin setup on a 2500 hd 6.0 liter, and did a nice job, then had a custom made FMIC made and he plumbed that in, the nice thing is, that the turbos sit high enough ((custom headers to mount them each in front, like the upside down manifold idea)) they sit high enough for the oil return to gravity drain from the turbo's into fittings he welded into the Valve covers, so taking off the kit is very easy, no tapped lines in the oil pan, i think they are ball bearing water cooled turbos too, the thing sounds awesome!

If you're going twins on a 5-6L motor that rev's to 6500 you need to be be running smaller hot sides. A full T4 with a 1.15 turbine housing would be great if you were only using 1. A pair wouldn't spool till like 4000+rpm. On twin V8 we run little T2's for quick spool or at the largest T3/T4's with .63 turbine housings. A little bird told me you could get some real nice T04B's in .63 T3 turbine housings for like $500 new, but the seller would have to be a vendor here.

I think you're right on about the 1.15 T4 housings not spooling till 4000+ also.
