Just looked they would be close. I guess really no closer than OEM manifold

Twin turbos nice. You ever watch that show diesel brothers? Some of their projects mimic some of yours.

well progress has slowed down due to the fact that im going on vacation next Wednesday. gotta get work done!
but I managed to get my intakes on, and some oil feed/return plates made for the TP38's
along with a few other odds and ends.

are you going to connect the turbos together or feed one to each side?

The way he's got it plumbed, he's gotta be doing it twin, not compound.

So where does a guy who spends his days doing project most of us can only dream about, and his off hours tearing the Pacific a new one, go on "vacation"? Reminds me of the "deep thought" question -- where do National Park rangers go to get away from it all?....

I will be building an "X" pipe from the turbos to the intakes to balance out the pressure difference. the way I see it, if one of the turbos experiences a drop in pressure, both sides of the intake will receive the same drop.
ive been debating about NOT buying a boost gauge, that would **** a lot of people off LOL


me and the woman are going to Mexico for a week, Puerto Vallarta, its not really the location, its the fact that we will be KID FREE!
I just build man, these are projects I dreamt of most of my life, hell I still dream of them.
if I can do it, so can anyone else. the only difference is, im sure a lot more people could do it better. its all practice for when I build my 41 Ford

Please be careful down there. I can not remember if it is listed in the travel advisory that the State Department issued not to long ago

Are those first gen psd turbos? Having driven a 97 stroke, my guesstimate is you would have to spin that thing to 4500 rpm just to start spooling them lol
