Here are just some random pics of the twins....the pass side is mostly mocked up, the driver's side still needs to have the waste-gate housing modified like i did to the driver's. I showed a pic of how the system really dosent hang down too much at all.

hey since you have water cooled turbos. DId you think about putting in a water tank in the trunk, and runnin a pump to feed the turbos with water.. THen just fill it up with ice water at the track. WOuldnt be practical for street driving, but i bet it would drop ur inlet temps alot with the ice


look awesome so far btw, keep up the good work!
 
Man i have to give you Props, you are doing one of the most original turbos i have seen on anything. In the pic, i like how they don't sit any lower than mufflers on my car do....

One question i came up with is, your cold side piping is gonna be where? On top of the exhaust, or what, and are you gonna have any clearance issues once the suspension is loaded up again... Not doubting you in any way just trying to educate myself.... good luck and great job so far...

whell, im still figuring out the cold side. what i think im gonna do is have the pass side go straight up into the rear seat area, cross over, then come down, merge, then meet that blue 2/1/2 pipe along the side skirt area...more pics coming...
 
You are doing a GREAT JOB my friend! :nice: Def a unique set up and if it works well then you can make some $$ fabbing those systems up.
Props to you big time b/c I know how little room is under those frigg'n jack stands. It sucks everytime you go under and forget a socket or something! :mad:
We can all just dream we have a lift in our garages though like Andy :D

I'm excited for you to complete this up successfully and accomplish your goal and vision.
 
It is funny, I have been thinking of doing this setup for a long time too.
However, I was thinking of doing a single setup instead of a twin. STS Turbo Systems is the company that does remote turbos and their site says that an intercooler is not required since the intake charge cools through the extended piping from the back to the front. So, back to my main question, would this setup work with a single, let say, T4?
BTW, you are officially my new god, I PRAY TO YOU!! :hail2:
If this works, I will be right behind you!

Here are some more sites to look at:

whell, i know sts says you dont need an i/c, but i wanted to run a small one anyway, a pipe cant cool off that much. Next, the reason i did twin is because its easier. The stang has a dual exhaust. You could do a single, say like a MP t-70 or somethin with a real small a/r. but then you run into having the crossover tube near the axle, if you mount it where i mounted mine.
