I've owned a couple turbos as well. They were in horrible condition and the compressor wheel was actually missing some of well the wheel.

you'd have to have them custom made...TMA used to make them but not anymore

you can invert your stock headers or some BBK or MAC shorties weld a lil extra piping and a t3 or t4 flange for a turbo

All you need are some shorty headers with a new flange put on for a turbo on each side for twin turbos. Since none are made anymore your fabbing up your own kit so you have tons and tons of options for turbo placement and such.

Gonna have to search google for that bud. I don't have anything. I haven't looked at turbo stuff for a while. Now when your talkin about the piping. what part of the piping are you talking, and what kind of twin setup are you talking about, and where would you want the turbos mounted?

What you will have to do is make all your own piping... if you are going with a twin turbo set up you need to have the turbos run off there own side of the engine block... from there you can have the cold side join in front of the block and go into the intercooler ... OR you can get an intercooler with two in's and one out... they do exist... also you have the option of going twin or single down pipe depending on your price range and what not...

again you will learn a ton more if you check out TMA ... they still have there pictures up fortunately ... look them over for ideas

Thats a parallel setup. One thing you have to realize is that sizing of the turbos is important. It isn't just saying "I want a t3/t4" and be good. You also have to look at the a/r maps, and such. If the inlet on the compressor side is too small it's not gonna be all that helpful. There are other variables as well.

Hey man,
What kind of mods have you done so far? Cuz you really need to look at forged internals before you put a TT on a V6. Also, have you done anything at all to the exhaust, or are you running stock. In terms of what kind of pipe you need...well I would try to find a good exhaust shop in your area that mandrel bends their pipes, and see what they suggest. They should be able to do any fabrication that you may need.

Well i have just bought this car and the only thing that it has done to it is put new shorty headers on it the old headers had holes in them.

The only car modding was put a wet nitrous kit in a car

Thank you

lol omg

ok 12psi twin kit made 370+rwhp on stock bottom end

so you dont NEED forged internals at all with the right tune and boost

and if you get a turbo kit with out an exhaust you've wasted your money. and if you build the kit then you can make an exhaust
