turbo mounting location

let's just say Czar's manifold has multiplied in number, with a few slight modifications for better performance.

we're looking at mounting 2. one off the front manifold, and one off the rear manifold. the problem is fitting the one on the rear manifold. worried about heat, clearance between teh firewall, the steering rack. . . .

I wouldn't recommend it at all.

for the amount of air that blows through a 3L engine already, two turbos aren't needed to get small turbo lag (which is the only real reason to use duals)...

a T3/T4 will do more than enough for what you need.

Like Matt said, just run a single turbo off the front manifolds with a crossover pipe from the rear manifolds. Running two turbos on a VE is just going to cause you more headaches. Not to mention more time, work, and money as well.

I did with one guy. he said he's got a buddy who would do it for half that and asked if I'd match price. I told him to have fun dealing with the lowest bidder.

But the lowest bidder will obviously always do the best job!

LOL Oh well, since his car is for sale, he probably doesn't care about turbo location anyways.

That's right actually. Just ask the Big 3. Their cars' quality has just increased exponentially since the 50's along with their unparalleled technology. Why is this? Because they choose none but the absolute cheapest, meanest, lowest-priced parts and suppliers for their components. Since no one keeps their cars longer than 18 months anyway, even these "cost effective" parts are guaranteed to perform admirably on America's leisurely urban roads and lazy turnpikes. They do this not to increase their modestly humble profits, but rather to funnel 100% of this saved money into intense cutting-edge R&D. Their desire for quality and innovation is as impressive as their world-class cars.

ok, i just took my car off the lift, and i think this is what MAY happen if it doesn't sell. (and i really hope it sells so i don't have to spend all this $), turbo mounted off front manifold, turbo mounted off rear manifold, then all i have to do is run the intake pipes together, and run a custom Y pipe. i found 2 small turbos from eclipses that'll fit and boost perfect for 200 (for both), and redline will bend up my piping. I have this odd obsession for dual everything. . . .
