Turbo Guys

here you go, turn them upside down, cut the 90 degree elbow off and put a flange on it for the turbo, these are cheap enough forsome one to at least give it a try.

Quite a few racers using rear mount turbos.

Because they work.... The STS kit works great on every application except our trucks..... The vettes, gto's, and stangs all have great results with them....

A single big turbo system is a good idea.

I was thinking of goin this way.

Like has been said, use the stock manifolds and fab up the rest to mount

behind the engine.

The turbo would have more room on the driver side.

The intake pipe would be close, but when I was goin to do this I was able to

run twin 2.5" pipes past the engine and up into the compartment.

I also like the idea of the turbo weight centered on the truck.

As far as price, I could see this mod cost in the 6-8K range with good parts.

Would be neat to see.

Thank you.... Me and a buddy of mine are considering setting up 3 different options at members choices.....

Whose truck is that in post #28?

 

[Tooloe]

it's robs new set up.... i like how they added the external Oil SUmp with a pump that keeps the turbos drained.... thats a good idea

 

[yellowfever#154]

Ah now that makes sense. I like how they used the transmission to mount the turbos. Seems that the mounting plate is maybe not sufficient to hold the weight of the turbos?

thats kinda what it looks like the 2 turbos are to heavy but i bet you could do a single in the same kinda way... closer to the motor... bring the 2 manifold into a Y Mount the turbo and run it from there leaves the engine bay clean and stock ish until you hit the Go pedal

Edit- sopme one is going to have to break down an do this... or i'm going to do it but it's going to take me forever

 

[Tooloe]

kinda like this


the black ball is the turbo and blue is the intercooler
