Not even talking the fab work… just parts. 2 turbos, 2 wastegates, 2 down pipes, 2 flex sections for the down pipes, Y pipe for the exhaust, 2 into 1 intercooler, or a Y pipe for the charge, twice the AN and stainless braided lines for oil, etc. its a long list.

Single turbo, simple FMIC and charge pipe setup. wastegate dumped and make a down pipe and exhaust from there. If they arent symmetrical, I can put the crossover pipe under the truck run it forward and up to the turbo, where ever we can put it.

like i said twins are a pipe dream. i dont think the stock cast iron ones are symmetrical, but i cant check because the truck’s at my dad’s house in PA. Anyways, im not trying to go racing, just have a fun little truck that can suprise a few ricers.
