I don't have a clue but do you know you can hit 30psi of boost with just chip, downpipe,intake,stageI's on the the stock turbo. Alot cheaper then twins just saying but it would be cool if you get it done

Its actually better to run them in series than it is parallel. But that being said a stock holset off of a cummins is too small for our truck in series. Most of them that ive seen use our stock turbo then get a 88mm turbo off of a 10-12L cummins or detroit. The hardest part is squeezing the 4" or 5" downpipe out.

course that being said, you'll need head studs for sure. Ive seen a set of twins on my friends cummis push 80psi+ course thats with big injectors and a big pump. Before that it was about 50 psi with stage 1 injectors.
