I can't believe you went through all the trouble to buy metal tubing, turbos, make a shirt, and borrow a shop just to make us think you have a turbo setup. You should be ashamed.

GMAN - Got any pics of the finished install?
Do you feel like sharing?
Obviously I have a bunch of questions......
Boost psi?
Oil pump for return?
Air cleaners?
Exhaust?
Intercooler?
And the most important one.... How's it run?

It's always nice to make something yourself that nobody else has.
But that's a LONG way to run the intake tubing isn't it?
I think a Supercharger would be more practical and cleaner in this case.
But again, to be able to design the turbo system yourself and get it to work is a great accomplishment.
I think what people want is feedback on performance, boost, drivablity, etc. I don't think you would be expected to have it perfected on the first attempt. Experimenting and learning from it is the best part about home brewed performance mods!

hmm... twin T3/T4 turbos with integral wastegates...
Should have gone with external wastegates... the flow characteristics are better...
I wouldn't have spend the extra money on the T4 compressors If I was going with integral wastegates....
We used T3 turbos with Super 60 compressors and external wastegates on our Twin turbo 5.9L project...
But, this is just one man's opinion...
Later!

The website should be up again pretty soon... don't know the exact timeframe...
As for the turbo systems, We can build customers custom systems based on their vehicle and performance requirements...
Kit development will revolve on that... it comes down to cost feasibility, as it's not cheap to develop the kits and there is not a whole lot of genuine demand for them...
There are a lot of people interested, but most are not willing to spend the large amount of cash to put turbos on their truck... That is why we're sticking with custom setups at this time...if demand goes up, we will again develop kits...
Later guys!

looks kinda scary how the turbos sit lower than the tranny x-memeber... not recommended as a daily driver...

Fear water hitting those nice hot turbo's :) What about IC's? I would rather have a hood with two ram air boxes on each side for extra room in the engine bay for the turbo's. Hmm wouldn't the lag be horrible by having to pressurize the intake tubes that are a good 4ft to 5ft in length from the intake?

The oiling system would be a nightmare though. The oil out of the turbo would have to be pumped back to the pan. Probably requiring 2 separate pumps. I am surprized that he even came up with those pics. Finished ones should be easier to produce though because it is supposed to be done by now.

what is the reason why the turbo set up is underneath? did i miss something?it is definitely one of a kind.never saw anything like that before.
i would of kept it under the hood,there is enough room,and like someone else said,you can utilize a hood that has a taller profile that would help fit
the turbos.
is this thing completed?does it run?
bring it to the mopar weekend at bristol,tn.
this june,people would freak out,and i would like to see it run.....

I would love to have the time and place to do a twin turbo! Way to go! I hope it works out for ya.
Like CW said, oiling must be a bitch not to include the air intake nightmare.
You might want to wrap your exhaust to keep the temp up to the turbo, thats wasted power when it cools. And carefull with the rain/water puddles it looks like if you get them to warm and duche them with cold water, well I hate that thought.
Is this truck a trailer queen?

Well, most of us don't need Turbos, superchargers, or NOS to make our trucks fast. Some of us have the true mechanic ability to build an actual Beast Engine with out using any Horse Power add-on's. Turbo's, NOS, and Superchrger's are just things, for 99.9% of us, to make our already fast trucks go a little faster and if you have to take picture just to try and prove your truck is fast,thats just sad.
