Like I said, I'm doing it a little differently, so I wanna make sure I can see exactly what the boost is doing.

No, one is under the blower rotors, one above. Once it starts to come together, it will all make sense

Will be starting on it this weekend. It might be a couple weeks since everything has to be fabbed up by hand. Trust me I'd love to knock it out in a single weekend, but thats probably not going to happen. lol

Why not run twins in the back? A lot of GT500 guys run the hellion power systems twin kit with the stock Eaton blowers on the GTs and make some crazy power.
you should google them and look into the "Compound Boost Facts."

You better keep a close eye on that turbo. It would be perfect for the bottom turbo in a set of twins on my truck and as I write this it is sitting in my garage..........

If this turbo by itself isn't stirring the koolaid, maybe I would consider twins. But I think it'll be just fine.
