Hey everyone I have been thinking about doing this custom twin turbo setup and could use your opinions. I would use test pipes that I would cut and welde into the adapters. And leave the stock manifolds alone. I would use twin t25's so I hopefully wouldn't get to much turbolag because of the weird setup. And i would plan on running 5 psi, with intercooler and unichip, and fully tuned. I'm not looking for huge power because I have the stock block and auto tranny "for now." All I am looking for is about 50 to 100 hp more and that would be good enoghf for me, the car already is very quick. And I could probably do this setup for under $3k which is the big plus for me. Do you guys think this setup would work decent? turbo lag? expected hp levels?

 

i like your adapter peice

 

Looks like it may work.

 

putting turbos that low = dangerous.

You'll need a fluid pump to pull the oil from the turbos to the oil pan, your intercooler piping routing will be hellish, and twin t25s will be essentially worthless.

IMO, save yourself a ton of money, headaches, and time, and buy a kit.

 

Yeah, all you need is that adapter piece and you should be good for at least 400whp. I'd say do it.

 

i wouldnt do it, APS tried that exact setup and failed.

seriously, seems like a lot of headache for minimal gains, just get the vortech, close to your gains, safe, reliable, and relatively cheap(er) than the others.

 

your probably right, I should just save up. well thanks for your input

 

or you could just cut the stock mani shorter then weld on a turbo flange to that. then bolt on the turbo.

 

from the pic, your turbo's would be almost touching the ground, making drainback less than positive.
get a used kit if you want to save a buck. many have tried, but unless you have unlimited access to bends and are good at fab work, you could be left with a very high fab bill or things that don't work.
