Just thinking here, but would these be enough to feed a 408?

Would you allow for a local pickup? Tennesse isn't too far for me.

EDIT: What would be the price difference if I did pick it up?

I am not sure in all honesty. I never worked out the flow rates of both vs the flow requirements of the engine, I just sized them based on my experience with turbos on other smaller engines. I basically picked a turbo that would be responsive on an I4 and then bought 2 because that is basically what is happening here, turbo'ing an I4 x2. I could have gone larger but I wanted zero lag and lots of response.

I would say it would work but the top end power output might not be as much as you are after, having a built motor and all. They should do 500-550 in their sleep, though.

At least if they did not suit you after the install, you could pretty easily change to 2 larger turbos, like gt35rs or something which would be SICK. They're gonna be mounted right on top in the engine bay, and there should be enough slack in the downpipes to move them the 1/2" to 1" or so that a larger turbo would require. During fabrication you could always add flex bellows to the downpipes near the bottom, to better allow for this possibility.

As stated in the last sentence of the text in the first post, yes, gladly.

I would probably take off $100 in packaging and shipping costs, and my time in doing the packaging. No more than that, though.
